Harmony
Papillons
The Foundation
I consider myself lucky to
have been able to acquire some beautiful and well-bred Papillons to use as the
foundation for my breeding program. I am so very grateful to the breeders
over the years who have entrusted me with their wondrous creations and who have
shared so freely of their knowledge. The dogs below represent both the beginnings as well
as the foundation of Harmony Papillons and without them, I would not be where I
am today. They are near and dear and are thought of often.
At right is Am/Can CH Luxxor
Denzel Star Of Wonder, aka "Fiat", by CH Loteki Star Trek Of Kasway
ex CH Luxxor Touch Of Mystery, CD, a CH Kvar Red Wings
daughter. Fiat was originally acquired for a short lease agreement, but
found her way back to Harmony when Luxxor Papillons was disbanded. She was
born in Jan 1986 and enjoyed her retirement with Ruth Brisendine in San Antonio
until her death in the fall of 2001.
Fiat is the dam of my
first homebred champion and foundation brood bitch, CH Harmony's Luxxor
Serenade DOM, pictured below left. "Harmony" was born in Nov
1991 and was awarded the Papillon Club of America Dam of Merit Award in
1999. She is the dam of five Champion offspring out of three litters
totaling 6 puppies.

Her second litter by BIS/BISS CH Denzel Loteki Crown Prince produced a Group Winning dog, CH Harmony's Rocket Man and a bitch, CH Harmony's Candle In The Wind.
Her third and final litter by
the Group Winning CH Denzel Speak Up At Wildways included CH Harmony Turn Up
The Music.
Harmony was diagnosed in
February of 2000 with a bizarre auto-immune disorder called SARDS (Sudden
Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome) which left her completely blind within
two weeks and attacked her organ systems at random. She passed away May
11, 2001 after repeated efforts to regain proper kidney function for her
failed. We miss her everyday.
Pictured at right is
Denzel Testarossa. "Tess" was acquired from Tracy Burdick of
Denzel Papillons and quickly proved to be quite a treasure!! She is a
daughter of CH Denzel Say The Magic Word out of Denzel Pink Cadillac, a Star
Trek daughter. She is the dam of CH Denzel The Great Garbo, CH
Denzel the Great Bogart and CH Harmony Strike Up The
Band. She is the cherished pet of Alice Mason of Kerrville,
TX.
Denzel The Bear
Essentials. "Tillie" came to Harmony also from Denzel Papillons with a
champion daughter and an obedience/agility titled son to her credit. She
is by CH North Starr Mystic Bear Facts CD ex Denzel The Cat's Meow. While
here at Harmony, she produced CH Harmony's Bear Necessities, CH Harmony's
Speak In Riddles and Harmony Denzel Prima Donna. She is the
pampered pet of Cora and Jim Farley of Lampapas, TX.
"Breeding dogs is a
serious business and should not be undertaken without a great deal of thought
and purpose in mind. It is a combination of art and science, of common
sense and intelligence, to which must be added a modicum of luck and a
tremendous amount of intestinal fortitude."
