We are a small show kennel located near Richland, WA striving to produce Papillons who excel in type, temperament, movement, and health.  Come inside to learn more about our dogs.  We have had much success in the show ring since our beginnings in Papillons in 1995.  Our first Phalenes were imported in 1998, and were featured on Animal Planet's "Breed All About It".

Since 2000 when we started breeding Papillons and Phalenes, 12 dogs have attained their Championships. 11 of those dogs are homebred, and 3 of those achieved Toy Group placements.  
 
We are very excited at the success of all our dogs, including Akai's A Thorn Among Roses, VCD2. That means he's a Versatile Companion Dog with advanced titles, and U-CDX Akai's White Water Running CD, Can CD, NA, NAJ, CGC. She will be working on her tracking title next.   Another youngster by the name of Luca is starting his obedience training and doing very well according to his owner. 
 
We also have a 9 year old retired girl who earned her CD and Rally Novice titles.

 
I'm a current member of the Papillon Club of America.  My past affiliations have been:  Lone Star Akita Club (past secretary), Rocky Mountain Akita Club,  Buckhorn Valley Kennel Club, and Papillon Association of Puget Sound.  I have judged the Sweepstakes classes for the Papillon Club of Canada's National Specialty in 2003, as well as the sanctioned AKC 'B' Match for the Papillon Club of Northern California.

July and August Updates
 
Akai's Stella Solaris did finish her American Championship in Canby, OR at the end of June.   Akai's Dark Star now needs only 1 point to finish his American Championship.   I'll be taking both of these youngsters to Canada in September. 
 
Am/Can Ch. Akai's No Jacket Required received a Group 3 and a Group 4 placement July 4th weekend in Spokane.   Jack beat a top 20 dog both days!
 
Akai's Mod Phenomenon, co-owned with Tawney Barney got a 5 point major win in Enumclaw, WA on the heels of the P.A.P.S. specialty show held that weekend.   She managed to beat 38 other females for this win!   To add icing on the cake, she is also a Phalene!

At the 2008 Papillon Club of America's National Specialty show, we earned a Second Place ribbon in the 9-12 month bitch class.   I never bring more than a few dogs to the National Specialty, so I'm extremely proud that I have always placed in the ribbons with whatever dog or dogs I bring to the show.
