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.
