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, 21 dogs have attained their Championships. 18 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 10 year old retired champion girl
who earned her CD and Rally Novice titles. Harry, a retired Phalene is now learning agility with his new owner
in the Seattle area!
Rudy and Chloe are doing terrific as a phalene agility
team in Oregon, although Chloe is beating the tar out of Rudy on the course in spite of him being the older, more experienced
dog.
2 dogs are shining stars at local nursing homes in
Wenatchee as well.
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.
Jack (Am/Can. Ch. Akai's No Jacket Required) received an
AWARD OF MERIT placement at the Papillon Club of America's National Specialty show held in Chattanooga, TN this past April.
I again am thrilled at his placements these last couple of months. Jack's been retired since December of 2010.
Emmett, Akai's Dark Shadows, finished his championship on Memorial
Day weekend at the age of 18 months. The following weekend he received Best of Breed over 3 other champion dogs including
his grandpa Jack!
