Papillons or "butterfly dogs" as they are often called, are
lively little dogs that excel in the show ring and in a variety of performance
events. These include: agility, obedience, tracking, fly ball, and
even dock-diving! Therapy work is another area that Papillons love.
Learn more about our breed by visiting our Papillon Information page.
Our members and their Papillons are involved in many activities.
Many different breeding lines of Papillons are represented in our association
providing diversity. This diversity of breeding lines provides those new

The Midwest Papillon Association was formed in 2005 by a small
group of Papillon lovers. Through the hard work of a handful of
individuals, the association gained United Kennel Club (UKC) recognition as the
first Papillon breed club in the entire United States in August of 2007!
We are very excited about this designation and are working towards hosting our
first UKC conformation show in the near future. Click to review our

We are based in Southern Michigan were the majority of our members
live. This includes West Michigan near Grand Rapids, the Jackson area near
Parma, and the Detroit and Port Huron areas of the state. At present
we are expanding to become regionally known by encouraging membership from
Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Our goal is to become the National Papillon
Breed Club recognized by the United Kennel Club and invite anyone with a love of
Papillons to join our organization. Membership applications are available
