The Papillon (Butterfly Dog) what a delightful little dog. Happy,lively and extremely intelligent they think they are a big dog in a little body.
They have a super temperment, not showing any signs of agrressiveness always wanting lots of cuddles with the people they love.
Just because they are small doesn't imply they are couch potatoes, they love going for long walks, playing games and even mini agility. However they do know where the comfy spot is on the sofa and will willingly lay and take all the fuss given.
Their name meaning Butterfly, refers to their ears they should be set high with lovely fringes forming the shape of a butterfly, there is the Phalene (moth) these have the drop ears.
The Papillon gets on well with other dogs and pets, as they are small and fine boned we do have to be a little careful.
Papillons with a very bouncy large breed or very boisterous young children, as you can imagine could easily have an accident. They are no push over though they certainly let the others know they are there, instigating the next game.
Their coat which should be silky, needs some attention, a brush through making sure there are no tangles in their fringes, under arms and trousers.
P erfectly symmetrical the judges like to see
A dding to their beauty, fringes to their knee
P artly bred for cuddles to keep you ladies warm
I ncluded in the shoot was also why they're born
L ustrious hairs infact a plume waving in the breeze
L ively little butterflies that love to play and tease
O nly you can decide what colour is the best
N ot just one maybe all until you finally rest
