Quote from an Owner 

Although the Papillon is a toy breed, he is not fragile, as some people would believe. Papillons are sturdy, solid little dogs. They are equally at home in an apartment or on the farm. Potential owners should ask to see the sire and dam, and ask questions about how the pups are raised. Papillons should have early socialization, which means introductions to children if there are none in the home, as well as to strangers. They make good family pets.

 ~Furman Cunningham, Firebird Papillons, USA

Basic Requirements A secure fenced yard is a must for a Papillon. They can squeeze through tiny holes in or under a fence. Paps require light grooming, which consists of brushing once a week, and a bath once a month. They do not possess a doggy odor.

Temperament Happy and alert, Papillons make great obedience dogs, and they aim to please.
