Bell

Meet Bell, also known as Neuter Champion Australian Champion Gracepol Winner Takes All—a name that reflects her exceptional pedigree. Bell is the daughter of Rosie, who had just one litter. She has been a beloved member of our family, embarking on numerous adventures throughout her life. Bell’s love for travelling and participating in shows is matched only by her enthusiasm for obedience classes and her role as a devoted pet, sleeping on her bed at home.

Bell possesses a remarkable temperament that sets her apart. She has served as our most trusted breeding female, excelling as a nurturing mother and welcoming visitors with her warm and gentle nature when they come to see her puppies.

In terms of conformation, Bell stands out as a rather substantial girl, measuring 11.25 inches tall and weighing approximately 4.6 kilograms in her prime. She boasts symmetrical face markings, a rich red coat, medium round eyes, and an elegant build that commands attention in the show ring. Her movement is characterized by a graceful and effortless gait, effortlessly covering the ground.

Bell has now retired from breeding, leaving behind a legacy of intelligent and kind temperament that she has generously passed on to her puppies. We take immense pride in her contribution to the Papillon gene pool, not only in Australia but also internationally, both pets and show dogs.

Bell has started doing Storydogs! This is a exciting program outlined below:

“Story Dogs handlers are volunteers trained to help emergent readers.  The handler will not judge the child and will help in a non-threatening way. Literacy is crucial to every child’s future, and those who fall behind when they are young inevitably struggle to catch up. What better way to break down the barriers that build up in such a child‘s mind than by sharing and explaining a book with a dog”

Bell’s Orivet DNA health test results confirm her to be clear of all Papillon diseases and conditions, outlining our commitment to the well-being of our dogs.

Ava

Allow us to introduce Ava, affectionately known as Australian Champion Gracepol Just Foxing Around. Ava’s lineage is truly exceptional, as she is the granddaughter of Bell. Her mother is Aspen (also featured on the ‘Living with others page’), and her father hails all the way from Belgium, bringing with him a unique and esteemed bloodline.

Ava is a spirited and delicate Papillon who exudes sheer joy for life. She’s a perpetual smiler, always radiating happiness and excitement. While she may be a tad mischievous and playfully naive, her zest for life is positively contagious. Watching Ava twirl around and embrace each moment is a heartwarming experience.

Ava’s Orivet DNA panel results provide insights into her genetic makeup, offering valuable information about her genetic traits and health status.

Cee Cee

Cee Cee is one of the latest additions to our Gracepol family. She hails from our most recent Papillon litter, a result of the union between Zorro and Ava.

Cee Cee’s arrival signifies the emergence of a new generation of beautiful dogs in our breeding program.

We are eagerly looking forward to nurturing this intelligent and promising young girl and witnessing her journey as she becomes an integral part of our breeding program. Cee Cee’s presence adds depth and vitality to our lineage, ensuring the continuation of our commitment to breeding exceptional Papillons.

Coco

Introducing Coco, our beloved Cardigan Corgi, known as Mandene Kandy Kane JC. Coco’s lineage is nothing short of exceptional, with her mother being Champion Turid Luna inthesky (AI), and her sire is Bobby, also known as Grand Champion Kalora Quality Control (AI).

Coco is an absolute delight to live with. Her temperament is simply outstanding, making her a joy to take anywhere. She adores other dogs, welcomes strangers with open paws, and is especially fond of children. Her cheeky and mischievous side adds an element of charm to her personality, and she eagerly participates in every activity that comes her way.

Beyond the conformation ring, Coco has also made a name for herself in lure coursing, a thrilling dog sport that showcases a dog’s agility, speed, and instinct. In lure coursing, dogs chase a mechanically operated lure across a field, mimicking the experience of pursuing prey. This sport is not only a test of speed and agility but also of the dog’s ability to follow a chase sequence and display endurance.

Coco’s success in lure coursing is a testament to her versatility and athleticism. The JC after her name indicates she has obtained her Junior Courser Title in lure.

Coco’s Orivet DNA panel results provide valuable insights into her genetic makeup, including the presence of the Long Hair Gene (Fluffy) and her status regarding various health conditions.
