Our Story

Our story began in 1992, when founder Karen White brought home her very first Papillon. From the moment she held that tiny butterfly-eared pup in her arms, she knew her life would never be the same. The Papillon’s intelligence, charm, and grace made an unforgettable impression, and soon the dream of raising, showing, and sharing this breed with others became a reality.

Through years of study, hands-on experience, and mentorship from some of the most respected names in the dog breeding and showing community, Karen immersed herself in learning the standards and responsibilities of ethical breeding. She recognized early on that breeding was not just about producing puppies, but about preserving the breed’s integrity, ensuring healthy genetics, and honoring the proud history of the Papillon.

Why Papillons?

With all disciplines under one roof, the NGENG Garage workshop is setup to design, prototype, manufacture a build from concept to final product.

he Papillon, often called the “butterfly dog” for its graceful, fringed ears, is one of the oldest and most cherished toy breeds in the world. Known for their intelligence, agility, and affectionate personalities, Papillons have captured hearts for centuries. Their history traces back to European royalty, where they were adored as companions to kings, queens, and noble families.

At Karen White Papillon, we are constantly inspired by the Papillon’s unique blend of elegance and playfulness. They are small in size but big in personality—curious, confident, and endlessly loyal. Whether they are dazzling in the show ring, excelling in obedience or agility, or simply curled up in your lap, Papillons bring light and joy wherever they go.

Our Legacy Since 1992

Over the last three decades, Karen White Papillon has earned a reputation for quality, trust, and consistency. Our puppies have gone on to become:
Beloved family companions bringing joy into households of all kinds.
Successful show dogs who represent the Papillon breed with pride and excellence.
Energetic sports dogs excelling in agility, obedience, and performance events.
This legacy is a testament to our unwavering standards and the passion that has guided us since day one. Many of our clients return to us for their second—or even third—Papillon, a reflection of the trust and satisfaction they experience with our kennel.
