About the Trainer
HeartDreams Papillons, run by Kim Hudson, is primarily an informational website and a resource for Papillon enthusiasts, stemming from a former Papillon breeding operation. While Kim Hudson has extensive experience in showing and training dogs, the site does not currently offer dog training services to clients.
Kim Hudson has been showing and training Papillons for 14 years and Australian Shepherds for over 28 years. The website provides valuable insights into the Papillon breed, including personality traits, care tips, and safety advice.
It also recommends several books on Papillon care and training, including “A New Owner’s Guide to Papillons” and “Little Dogs: Training Your Pint-Sized Companion” by Deborah Wood, which is highly recommended for Papillon training and manners. The site also lists various external links related to Papillon clubs, rescue organizations, and other dog breeds.
The business emphasizes responsible breeding practices, including genetic disease testing and certification for eye problems, patella luxation, and congenital heart defects, though breeding is no longer active. Puppies from their former breeding program were spayed/neutered before placement and raised with a focus on early socialization and temperament development.
Accomplishments
Kim Hudson has been showing and training Papillons for 14 years and Australian Shepherds for over 28 years. She was a former Papillon breeder dedicated to quality, health testing (CERF, OFA for patellas and hearts, CHIC certification), and sound temperaments, viewing breeding as an “Animal Science.” She also authored articles on Papillon safety and pricing.
