Sablewings Papillons

Sablewings Papillons, run by Mary Granda, breeds papillons in Harwinton, Connecticut, a small town in Litchfield County in the state's northwest hills, roughly an hour from Hartford.

The program centers on producing well-tempered companion papillons with a strong emphasis on genetic diversity. Breeding pairs are selected to yield litters with very low coefficients of inbreeding, and all dogs carry CHIC numbers through the Canine Health Information Center. Before any dog enters the breeding program, Sablewings completes OFA records for luxating patella, cardiac screening, and CAER eye exams, along with DNA tests for NAD, PRA-1, Factor VII deficiency, and Von Willebrand's disease. All results are made public on OFA.

Mary's approach to selecting breeding stock draws on livestock breeding science, including the work of early-twentieth-century animal breeding pioneers, to balance trait selection with low kinship levels. The kennel is equipped to support neonatal care, including a puppy incubator, oxygen concentrator, and nebulizer. Those looking for papillon puppies in Connecticut from a program with documented health testing and a transparency-first approach will find Sablewings a thoughtfully run small kennel worth considering.
