The Papillon, often called the Continental Toy Spaniel, has a long and storied history that most people think begins in Western Europe, most especially Belgium and France. The exact lineage of the breed is still a mystery.
Named after the French term for butterfly, the Papillon was gentle placeable by its wide, vertical ears shaped like those of a butterfly. The charming temperament, quick reflexes, and apprehension of this small toy dog have earned it far flung acclaim.
The Papillon is a highly regarded dog breed known for its exceptional obedience and speed, which it inherited from little spaniels seen in 16th-century artwork. This breed is small in stature but big in personality, and it captivates everyone it meets. Papillons are lively and energetic, although they are sometimes mistaken for lap dogs.
They love being around other people and hate being alone for long periods of time. If their requirements are met, they will be loyal companions who will never leave their owner's side.
