Playful Papillons A Papillon Show Kennel that keeps to the American Kennel Club standards. My love for papillons started in 2009. Next thing I knew, I found Skiddles..

My name is MaryAnn Wik and our papillons have been from the beautiful Redwood Curtain in Northern California to the Tahoe National Forest. For a couple of years I would go to the drag races and watch Bill race, and I’d also see people with their little dogs of various breeds hanging around. So I thought it would be fun to get a small dog to hang out with me at the track too! I started researching

a number of breeds and came across these beautiful little toy dogs called papillons. I couldn't believe I had never heard of them before! They were described as a healthy breed, wash and wear, well on farm or in an apartment/home, so with all that going for them I had to research more on these beautiful little creatures. We call her Skittles! After getting Skittles I knew I was hooked. I hear that papillons are just "like Lay's potato chips... you can't have just one!" This is so true because they are such loving, fun dogs with great temperaments and they have exceeded their description that attracted me to them! I was hooked, in love, the more I learned, the more I wanted to do with them. So now we are involved with showing, obedience, agility, and breeding plus just hanging out and being part of a beautiful Papillon family...so here I am today with big ideals and dreams of what is to come in the future...

I am a member of the Papillon Club of America, American Kennel Club and the Lost Coast Kennel Club. My foundation Sire is Nemo's who has numerous European Championships and international championship, very health proven by health testing which is my main goal for this breed besides wonderful conformation and temperment. I also have American Kennel Club Champions and Canadian Kennel Club Champions. My future goal is to improve my lines in an ethical and responsible way and place pet or performance (obedience, agility) puppies in loving and caring family homes on limited registration. Show home prospects puppies will be evaluated over time and placed in show homes, with either full ownership or co-owned with full Registration. As I continue researching on the health of my papillons I like to get certificates including OFA Patella, OFA Heart, and CERF Eye -PRA tand N**s testing to see what I am working with and who needs to stay or eventually be rehomed in my program as a pet. I am in the process of having my papillons DNA'ed, which ensures for precise, honest records on file with American Kennel Club. A write up of the papillon according to Pet Med describes the papillon as, "deceptively cute, butterfly-eared dog is smarter, tougher and stronger than it appears — it’s like the bionic dog!. Often described as big dogs in little bodies, they have the athletic stamina to keep up on long walks and the bravura of a canine ten times its size. The papillon is a true companion and watchdog. Although they can be ferociously protective over what belongs to them, their keen intelligence makes it possible to take them anywhere. Let’s not forget they can be litter trained, a big plus!"

Our papillons live in our home as part of our family. Our home environment is friendly and as sanitary as possible. Since I am also a licensed childcare provider, I thought it would be responsible to be licensed with the county for a kennel license. I think it is important to be overseen by a higher authority and this way I do everything correctly. So, in May of 2011 I was awarded the "County of Humboldt, Sheriff's Office Animal Control Division Certificate of Operation" for my kennel license. I've had very nice visit and educational one too! The officers were impressed by my care for my papillons and other pets, both in cleanliness and in kindness. In addition to the Animal Control, my facility is often checked by the department of Social Services Child Care division, and other childcare agencies for subsidy care, I have passed every inspection to date. I plan to keep everything in perspective and take care of my Papillons to the best of my ability and then some! Please view the photo below for my kennel license and officer that did my inspection. Sadly, due to the competitiveness and politics of dog showing there are rumors that fly around from time to time, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns and I will be happy answer any questions and refer you to a higher authority if needed. Our papillons have a very nice temperament and are well socialized. They have regular visits to our veterinarian to insure they are healthy for our breeding program which leads to fine quality for the AKC show ring. To learn more and see if this is the right breed for your family and life style, visit the American Kennel Club website. The papillon has found a way to flutter into our hearts and we hope our papillons have the same wonderful butterfly effect on you and your loved ones. Sincerely MaryAnn
