At Gracepol, we consider our dogs as cherished members of our family. While we currently have five dogs at our home, we’ve also forged partnerships with breeders across Australia to expand the Gracepol Papillon lineage. If you’re interested in becoming part of this journey, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Papillons
Ava
Allow us to introduce Ava, affectionately known as Australian Champion Gracepol Just Foxing Around. Ava’s lineage is truly exceptional, as she is the granddaughter of Bell. Her mother is Aspen (also featured on the ‘Living with others page’), and her father hails all the way from Belgium, bringing with him a unique and esteemed bloodline.
Ava is a spirited and delicate Papillon who exudes sheer joy for life. She’s a perpetual smiler, always radiating happiness and excitement. While she may be a tad mischievous and playfully naive, her zest for life is positively contagious. Watching Ava twirl around and embrace each moment is a heartwarming experience.
Ava’s Orivet DNA panel results provide insights into her genetic makeup, offering valuable information about her genetic traits and health status.

Cee Cee
Cee Cee is one of the latest additions to our Gracepol family. She hails from our most recent Papillon litter, a result of the union between Zorro and Ava. Her official name is Gracepol Seers Secret, part of our magical-themed litter that celebrates the legacy of Zorro, Supreme Champion Nanrich Top Flight Mystery Man (Imported from Canada), and our cherished Ava. Cee Cee’s arrival signifies the emergence of a new generation of beautiful dogs in our breeding program.
We are eagerly looking forward to nurturing this intelligent and promising young girl and witnessing her journey as she becomes an integral part of our breeding program. Cee Cee’s presence adds depth and vitality to our lineage, ensuring the continuation of our commitment to breeding exceptional Papillons.

Leah
Introducing little, little Leah also known as Gracepol Astonishing Legacy. Leah is a daughter of the most beautiful Maverick “Gracepol Astound Me TK.S RN” (Dogs owned by others) and a daughter from Cee Cee “Gracepol Seers Secret” and has stayed here to continue our lineage of dainty, petite Papillons!
She is a small package with some lovely qualities about her and Maverick has done a lovely job to produce some of my favourite things in a Papillon. I am looking forward to watch this dainty butterfly bloom into a wonderful representation of the breed.
Welsh Cardigan Corgi
Coco
Introducing Coco, our beloved Cardigan Corgi, known as Mandene Kandy Kane JC. N.SPRD Coco’s lineage is nothing short of exceptional, with her mother being Champion Turid Luna inthesky (AI), and her sire is Bobby, also known as Grand Champion Kalora Quality Control (AI).
Coco is an absolute delight to live with. Her temperament is simply outstanding, making her a joy to take anywhere. She adores other dogs, welcomes strangers with open paws, and is especially fond of children. Her cheeky and mischievous side adds an element of charm to her personality, and she eagerly participates in every activity that comes her way.
Beyond the conformation ring, Coco has also made a name for herself in lure coursing and Sprintdog, a thrilling dog sport that showcases a dog’s agility, speed, and instinct.
Coco’s Orivet DNA panel results provide valuable insights into her genetic makeup, and her status regarding various health conditions.

Molly
Molly is the newest addition to our Cardigan Corgi family, bearing the special pedigree name Sarasota Special Efx At Gracepol. Hailing from Tasmania (Tull Luttrell), she crossed the waters to join our family at Gracepol. Molly represents the polar opposite of Coco, characterized by her sweet and kind disposition and her soulful, melting eyes. As a blue merle with tan markings, we eagerly anticipate watching Molly grow into adulthood and continue to enrich our lives.

Macey
Macey is our newest corgis in the family and our very loved pet. She is from Coco and Buzz “Ch. Mandene Flight Ofthe Bumblebee” (who was visiting from QLD while being shown) from Julene. Macey was the Orange collar girl in the litter and I’ve enojoyed watching her being born, to grow into a very sweet and outgoing girl. Macey was given the special name of “Gracepol Born For Chaos” after my litter theme from the Blood and Ash novel series, and even though she isn’t as dramatic as the series, she provides lots of entertainment.
Macey has done well in her few shows and won some lovely ribbons and prizes to date, she has also shown great interest in Lure coursing and Sprintdog just like her mum! I am looking forward to her very promising future!
She will have her DNA health testing soon, and when she is old enough, she will be Hip and Elbow X-rayed (looking forward to seeing the scientific results after being raised with our ICB traction mats!)
