A Szzan Papillon
A Szzan Otterhound puppy

Szzan Kennel · Raised by Suzanne Goodchild

Two breeds.
One big
beautiful heart.

Dainty, butterfly-eared Papillons and big, shaggy, wonderfully rare Otterhounds — bred with the same care, raised underfoot, and loved just as loudly whether they weigh three kilograms or fifty-two.

Small ears. Big paws.

Two breeds who couldn't be more different — and we adore them equally.

Papillons came first for Szzan, in 1998 — a single dog and a lot of curiosity about her enormous personality in such a small body. It grew, years later, into a second passion: the Otterhound — one of the rarest dog breeds on earth, and one Suzanne fell for the moment she met one.

Our Papillons

Butterfly ears, big personalities, and roughly three kilograms of pure confidence. Ours since 1998, and still our house clowns.

Our Otterhounds

Shaggy, webbed-footed and endangered — fewer are born each year than giant pandas. Gentle giants we're proud to help keep going.
