AboutUs

We, Cheryl & Scott Hazen, are the proud owners of the A.K.C. registered, Papillons with Karyzma.

My husband, Scott, and I married in 1979. We spent our first 7 years of marriage with Scott serving in the
US Army. We have two grown children whom we are so very proud of. We are well-blessed with the love
and support of many friends and family whom we are infinitely grateful for.
Purchasing our latest home in 1989, we reside in Spotsylvania County, Virginia.

Our fist show Papillon male, Mavryck, came home in 2003. He did exceedingly well in the show ring.
From that point forward, we have been hooked on showing off our cherished Papillons!
We also enjoy training our Papillons to show good manners so others can also
enjoy being in their company - and vice-versa.

I decided in the late 90's that I just had to have a Papillon, after conducting much research into the breed.
Our first "companion only" Papillon came home in 2000. Indy Cheyenne is such a special little boy who
quickly won our hearts. Evan Lei' Karyzma was our second "companion only" Papillon. Again, what a
special little boy. He has an innate ability to "size another canine up" and determine just what their
temperament is - thus, just how to appropriately approach them.
This ability helped enormously with the many rescue dogs we brought into our, now dissolved,
Hazen's Haven for Small Dogs Rescue and Rehabiliation.

It appears, a number of people who are smitten with the toy breeds, seem to have the mindset that since
the toy breed is a portable, lap-warming companion, they really do not need to be taught how to behave.
It is my hope that I am able to help, at least in some small way, to debunk this mistaken mindset.
The Papillon breed is far more than another pretty face.
They are highly intelligent and ambitious, excelling at many various pursuits.
Consistently ranking in the top 10 in the Intelligence Ratings.
They deserve to be well-trained so they may enjoy a more fulfilled life.
If you reside in our area, you could benefit from attending classes at the highly regarded,
Pups N Iron Training Facility,
the local Greater Fredericksburg Kennel Club also hosts training classes.

Canine Rescue is a passion that I have held dear for the majority of my life. I currently serve as a Regional
Coordinator of Disctrict 3, which includes DE,KY,MD,NC,NJ,NY,PA,WV,VA,Washington D,C, for the
Papillon Club of America Rescue Trust.
In addition, I "free-lance" volunteer with many other ethical canine rescue groups as I am able.
The needs of canine rescue are great. There are countless ways in which one may provide support.
124 Ways to Volunteer With Rescue
is a good list to browse through now and then to see if you may be able to provide some much needed
rescue support. Chances are good, there will be a way you too can support rescue! I
welcome your call, or e-mail, if you have questions pertaining to rescue.

We are members in good standing of the
Papillon Club of America
& more locally of the
Metropolitan Area Papillon Cllub.

I have been busy recreating our Karyzma Papillons home on the web.
Thank you for your patience while I work through this fairly time consuming project.
You may find this website will have a few pages still in various stages of construction.
We will do our best to make the wait for completion very much worth the wait.

Throughout the various web-pages which comprise our website,
our aim is to share our mission, beliefs and practices with you.
It is with a sense of pride that we introduce our treasured Papillons to you.

Please feel welcome to contact us with any feedback or questions you may have
which pertain to this website or our Papillons!

Kindest regards,
The Hazen Family
Being Blessed By the
Butterfly Crew with Karyzma!!
