Welcome to our home and family! Where dogs are butterflies.

We are Michael and Kim McKelvey. We live in Navarre, FL. This area of Florida is known as the Emerald Coast and has some of the world's most beautiful beaches.

 We got our first Papillon about four years ago. Bella was picked out to be a loving pet. After about a year of falling in love with her, we decided to find one to show. We were fortunate and was able to import a male from Vangelis' Kennels in Sweden. Sanna Nylback entrusted us with a male. It is with him we started showing Papillons. We now have three girls and our import male and three of their offspring that we are currently showing.
 

It was fairly easy for us to think of the name for our kennel. Having a wonderful marriage for over 15 years, we felt Mikims was perfect in expressing our love for each other and  for this breed. All of our Papillon children live in our home and sleep with us at night. We are striving to produce healthy Papillons with wonderful temperaments, great movement, and beautiful coats.

We hope you find our site both enjoyable and informative. Please come back and visit us often for updates on show wins and any breedings we may have.
