Also known as Continental Toy Spaniel, it derives its name from its characteristic butterfly-like look of the long and fringed hair on the ears. Papillons are small, friendly, elegant toy dog with a fine boned structure.
They are distinguished from other breeds by their beautiful, butterfly-like ears. Papillons need daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds; they are alert dog, very intelligent toy dog, quick to learn and eager to please with plenty of spirit, and ideal choice for active owners. The breed must be either parti-color or white with patches of any color.
Papillons can live anywhere, but apartments may cause problems as the little dog communicates in a vocal manner, which may upset the neighbors.
