Vala Papillons

Vala Papillons is a Papillon breeder in Fresno, California, in the Central Valley near Sacramento. Michael Philip participates in Papillon breed clubs and follows recommended health screenings to support lasting wellness. Puppies are raised inside the family home, where daily socialization and gentle handling help them develop confidence and a friendly demeanor.

Adult dogs live with the family, ensuring ongoing care and enrichment through supervised outdoor play. The breeding program emphasizes the breed’s characteristic alertness and affectionate nature without overburdening lines with show-only traits. Visitors often remark on the calm, well-mannered behavior of the dogs, a reflection of the home-based approach to husbandry. Each puppy is introduced to basic training exercises and exposed to common sounds and experiences to ease the transition to new homes. The kennel environment is maintained with daily care routines and all dogs receive regular veterinary checkups and preventive treatments.
