About Us

Mondelise Papillons are owned by Sharon MacFarlane (formerly Mahoney) and Don Mahoney in Australia. Sharons interest is mainly in the breeding and showing of the dogs, while Dons involvement extends to judging.  

Sharon founded Mondelise and has owned and operated the Mondelise prefix continuously since 1972.    My foundation bitch Ch Triomphe Filomene joined me in 1977 and I bred my first litter in 1979.  Filomene was an outstanding brood bitch and was the dam of 8 champion progeny. 

Since that time there have been over 65 homebred Papillon Champions and we have exported dogs who gone on to be champions in New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Japan, France, Luxembourg, United States & Korea as well as of course Australia.  We have also exported to Sweden. We have bred four individual All Breeds Best in Show winners, one of whom was also Runner Up Best in Group at Australia's largest dog show, the Melbourne Royal. 

Over the years the kennel has imported a number of dogs from countries such as England, Japan, Sweden, the United States of America & Holland.  These dogs have all played a significant role in the breeding programme and will continue to help us achieve our goals.
