About the Papillon Breed
Sometimes called the “butterfly dog” because of its unusual ear shape—”papillon” means butterfly in French—the Papillon is one of the oldest toy breeds. Originally called the Dwarf Spaniel or Continental Toy Spaniel, the Papillon was depicted in artwork as early as the 16th century. Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette were known fans of the breed. Because of all of its sterling qualities, the Papillon is as popular today, as ever. If your checklist for the perfect pet includes beauty, brains, versatility, and constant loving companionship, BUT you want that all in a small package, the Papillon is for you.
Companionship: The Papillon has been a companion dog for centuries, and it’s really what he does best. Whether curled up in your lap, joining you on errands, “helping” you with chores, training for the show ring, taking car rides, or even joining you in the bathroom, he needs to be with you. If you’re not home, another pet, even a cat, is his second choice. What he does not want is to be alone. Luckily, you can take your Papillon almost anywhere, since he stands a diminutive eight-to-eleven inches tall and weighs somewhere between three and ten pounds.
