The Temperament of the Papillon Dog

Do Papillons bark....?
Papillons are good watch dogs. They
love to let you know when some one
comes to the door, or they see a bird,
cat, squirrel ....in the yard.
Yes, most of them bark;
but Papillons are highly intelligent
and you can easily train them not to
bark.

The Papillon is considered to be
a "wash and wear" breed and
requires minimal grooming.
Papillons have a fine-haired,
single length coat. The coat is
shed twice a year. As puppies,
Papillons have short length fur
and as adults, the coat is longer
and silky.
