Happy Pappy Pups

Happy Pappy Pups is a Papillon breeder in Inverness, FL, serving Citrus County and the Tampa Bay area near Tampa. Since 2012, Donna Buckley has followed American Kennel Club guidelines and ensures all breeding adults undergo patellar luxation and heart screenings. It is a member of local Papillon breed clubs and follows a health-first breeding approach.

Puppies are raised in a family home with daily socialization, exposure to other pets and children, and gentle handling to promote confident temperaments. Early training includes crate familiarization, basic commands, and gentle noise desensitization to support adaptability. Fenced outdoor areas and supervised play help develop healthy activity levels.

Owners receive a detailed puppy packet covering nutrition, coat care, recommended veterinary schedules, vaccination protocols and enrichment tips. Happy Pappy Pups hosts viewing sessions by appointment so families can meet puppies and adults in a home setting.
