Papillon & Phalene Breed

IS THIS THE RIGHT BREED FOR YOU?
Description: The Papillons are small, friendly,elegant Toy dogs of fine-boned structure, light,dainty and of lively action.
Their beautiful butterfly-like ears distinguished them from other breeds. Papillons are devoted to their masters, and show
hearty spirit making them desirable for show or companionship. Papillons are hardy and usually long lived. They adapt to
almost any climate and are comfortable in an apartment as well as the country. They are good travelers. Papillons love to
be with their family. They are friendly, happy and eager to please. They rank the number one Toy Dog in obedience.

PAPILLONS AND CHILDREN. Papillons are generally good with children, but they have a delicate, fragile structure; and
that makes them un-suitable for living with small children. Rough and wild activities and Paps do not mix well; they can
easily suffer a broken limb if dropped, or have a spinal cord injury. There are a lot of somewhat bigger Papillons out
there; around the 8-12 LBS range. Choose a puppy with that expected weight range, if you really want a Pap and you do
have smaller children.
