| Some Papis are high-strung, while others are shy. Keep this in mind when making your selection. |
| While there are many Papis who love to cuddle, there are plenty who would rather lie nearby. Be prepared and not have wrong expectations. |
| Papis are excellent Farm Managers and love country living. |
| Characteristics (& Temperament) of a Papillon The Papillon is:
Whether you have one Papillon or a whole flock of Butterfly dogs; it will change your life. These intelligent, thinking active little dogs are so unique and a source of constant joy. |

| A Variety of colors The Papillon is basically a white dog with markings of color: copper reds, black, sable, even light yellow (lemon), and the colors do come in all sorts of combinations. |
| People confuse the Papillons adorable outward appearance with the personality underneath all that fur. If you want a lap dog, who is all quiet, enjoys nothing else but spending time with you on your couch, watching television, then another breed might be a better choice. But if you are looking for a fun-loving, adventurous, highly intelligent, easily problem -solving dog, who loves to learn tricks, follows you everywhere you go (if you own a Papillon, you don't ever go to the bathroom alone anymore!!!), loves to play games...... Then a Papillon is the right dog for you. |
| Papillon Did You Know? The name Papillon means "butterfly" in French. The Papillon was known previously as the "Dwarf Spaniel." Marie Antoinette was an ardent admirer of Papillons. They were not fully represented in the AKC by their own breed club (Papillon Club of America) until 1935. In Europe, the drop-eared variety of Papillon is called Phalene, and it competes with equality in the ring against the erect-eared type. Papillons rose to fame in Spain.

Those Amazing, Luxurious Ears No other breed has such large ears that stick up, giving the dog a look of constant alertness. Added fringes (hair that grows along the edges) make the ears even bigger and are prized. Papillons also move their ears like butterfly wings and one ear will at times move independently from the other. It is also normal for Papillons to have drop ears. These dogs call Phalenes, the French word for moth |
