WELCOME TO COPELLA PAPILLONS

BILL & PAULA COX

     Hello and welcome to our website.  We hope you enjoy our site.  It is updated weekly so please come back often. 
     Our love affair with Papillons began when our oldest daughter, Lauren, wanted a Papillon for a roommate while in college at the University of Arkansas.  We bought our first Pap, Bentley, for our daughter.  We were hooked.  He stole our hearts.  Bentley moved in with Lauren and the search began for a Papillon of our own.
     We have always enjoyed dogs and dog shows, so the progression from pet owner to dog show exhibitor was a natural one. We have been showing dogs since 2003.  We regret that we did not begin sooner. 
     We breed to produce Papillons that meet the AKC standard for the breed.  We strive to produce healthy, beautiful and well adjusted Papillons. We are show breeders and breed on a very limited basis. 
     All of our dogs are much loved members of our family.  They are not "kennel" dogs.  Our Papillons share our home and our life.  A Papillon would not be happy with anything less.  Our three adult children believe the Papillons are their replacements.  We do seem to acquire a new Papillon or two each time a child leaves home.  
     Bill is a CPA and Paula is a teacher.  We have three adult children, Lauren, Leslie, and Jordan.  We also have one son-in-law,  Jeff Falk, who is married to our daughter, Leslie.  Leslie and Jeff have one son, Blake.
     We are nearing retirement and look forward to spending more of our time with our adorable Papillons.   We hope that you, too, will fall in love with the "butterfly dog."

About Papillons
Papillons are true "velcro dogs."  They love to be beside you during all your daily activities.  They are sweet, affectionate and extremely intelligent.  They are the most intelligent of all the toy breeds.  They are often trained as service dogs.  Papillons excel in all aspects of the show world.  They are excellent agility and obedience competitors, as well as beautiful conformation dogs.  For more information about Papillons, follow the links at the bottom of this page to the American Kennel Club and the Papillon Club of America.

ABOUT OUR KENNEL NAME
 
Choosing a kennel name was a difficult task.  After many months of thought and experimentation, Copella was chosen as our kennel name.  Copella is a combination of the letters of our names, Bill and Paula Cox.  It is also similar to the ballet, Capellia.  The ballet is the story of a toy maker and his daughter.  Papillons are a toy breed, so the name seemed to be appropriate.
