I'm the breeder behind Silhouette Papillons located in Pnw, WA. We are pet owners first and foremost. All of our puppies are raised as members of our family until they’re ready to join yours. Our love for our dogs pushed us to begin breeding. We love to see the results of our efforts in the sweet, happy, and healthy puppies that we’re able to share with others.

About Quintessa
Tessa is very much her fathers daughter. she is affectionate, sweet, and an incredible rat hunter! This girl goes and goes until she's pulled off the box. She has an incredible off switch and will snuggle ringside until its time to play. She's ran fast cat and earned a few rally novice titles (which we hope to complete this year) Quintessa is 10" tall, a thicker correct coat, more old euro style like her father.
