Papillon Dog - Top 10 Facts

[@melze1428]

I just adopted a stray papillon left at a gas station. We assume because it had seizures and we got her on meds right away. She learned tricks within the first 2 days and we have another small breed that she terrorizes. High energy and jumps from couch to couch like a goat or rabbit. She is definitely at home and one of the fam. She is a Godsend because she was brought into the clinic as we were putting our poor German Shepherd to sleep from cancer. These furbabies sure know how to worm their way into your hearts.💞

[@bronzepapillon5596]

My girl was 16 when she passed. She was very smart and learned so many fun tricks. She was my exploring buddy but also my lazy day buddy. I miss her every day and want to get another when I get a chance. Once you have a papillon you won't want to go back. They are something special and it's hard to really explain unless you have owned one.

I’m 61 now & hav my 5th papillion. I cant imagine life without a pap. They wiggle their way into everyones heart & my Tia makes me smile every day.

Had a papillon for 16 years. She was one of the best dogs I ever had

[@tylerrawson21]

[@margaretmurphy9498]

[@GreenHypnotherapy]

Had an older Papillon for 8 years, Daphne. She passed nye 20/21. She was amazing, always so happy, smart, and would jump around like a bunny or a fox. I miss her everyday.

[@donnadodd3488]

I have a Papillion he's 17yrs old his name is Buffie. His Birthday was 12/03/22 he's getting real sick now, just last week he was up walking, and running around. Now I have to carry him around, don't want to eat, use the bathroom, have to take him Vet. Pray for him

[@donnagregory6793]

We just lost ours today😢😢 my heart is broken. We had him 13 yrs. He was the best. And he definitely was a lap dog. Always with me❤

[@angelblood13]

I have a papillon that will be turning 13 in November and she’s absolutely insane and always has been. She goes for at least 1 mile long walk a day and will come home and play for 3 hours chasing her balls. She’s also one of the most anxious dogs I’ve ever seen (she also developed separation anxiety with my mom over the pandemic) but she’s one of the sweetest dogs I’ve had and gets so excited whenever she comes to see me at college or when I come home for breaks. She also sheds so much to the point we have to tarp off our basement bathroom whenever we bathe her because of how much fur comes off of her

[@gidget123ful]

I have a pap who's 10 years old, absolutely wonderful dog, I wouldn't say he's fragile as he runs and jumps and plays just like when he was a pup. Your video was spot on!

[@peppysusan565]

I had her 15 years and I miss her so much. She loved chasing squirrels and birds. While she wouldn't sit in my lap, she would sit where she could watch me. So full of energy and had heart of a lion, chasing after large dogs. Very agile. Couldn't catch her. Best dog I have ever had pleasure of adopting!!!

[@nia4me1]

I have three Paps...they are my life. The oldest are now rising 7 and the youngest is rising 5. My boys always attract attention for the ears and the sweet faces they have.

[@lrplante5602]

… they have such a love and dedication to their owners.. we are on our third generation of finding the rare papillon , and their love is unfailing…

[@cheeks6310]

I currently own 2 lovely papillons and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better dog 💛

[@monthly101]

I have 2 paps age 5 and 4. they are absolute angels. Always so gentle to my little boy. At first I was worried too if they can get along but now it’s the dogs I’m worried about. I need to remind my son to be gentle with them. mine loves cuddle! whenever I work from home they will want to sit next to me on the couch. they need a lot of exercise or they will chew the furniture lol I walked my dogs 4-5 times a day one super long (30-45 min) and the rest shorter just to give them time outdoor. they also loveeeeee zoomie and fetching balls.

When I go to sit or lay down she is on my lap before I even have a chance to get situated🤣. I adore her butterfly ears. She’s the dearest love of my life🦋💖🕊.

[@mariar2651]

Always had large dog breeds but lately I've felt drawn to small dogs. Done a bit of research on small dogs and this one is my favorite.

[@zerohours.]

If you've had large breeds taking care of a small breed will be very easy. I personally like Papillon, Boston Terrier, and Brussels Griffon.

[@mariusalex22]

So cute breed😊🥰🐕

[@jerryw2460]

Just remember every dog has his or her own personality I have a papillon that is a angry little bastard. He will draw blood on the right day and he has always been that way but I love the little a-hole.

[@saturdaymorningjukeboxinte4936]

Very helpful info & kudos to the photographers for some adorable work

[@RhinoaLunar]

I miss my sweet papillon. His name was Sebastian and he was my very first dog. I never wanted a dog and was proudly a cat person until I met him. It was love at first sight and I had him until he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I would love to have another dog with his temperament and intelligence again. He LOVED spa days (bath days and general grooming) and to run and play. He did tricks too. He was the best boy.

[@barbaradupuy9675]

Love the ears

[@Royeblack-nv9et]

Yeah so true their ears are something else. I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, So where are you originally from? I'm from Overbrook

[@user-um2jm7nu4m]

Mine just passed 3 days ago he was 10 I can't do anything but cry

[@Cryptoberg]

We have had two papillons and non of they liked kids below 3 years. Children under 3-4 years of age do not give out correct signals so that the dog understands. Be careful. Our Goldie had to be put to rest recently because of tracheal collapse, kidney stones and large liver. :) After all, the Papillon is a very good family dog.

[@77MsHelen]

Sorry for the loss of your Golden. 😢. Paps are indeed incredible dogs. My sweet Miss Coco crossed the Rainbow Bridge in January on her 15th birthday. (Mine is Jan 16 !). I had her since she was about 8 weeks old. She was incredibly beautiful and intelligent. She truly enjoyed life! She ran like the wind. She always slept with me and she was in my arms when she died. She was the best dog, friend, and companion I’ve ever had. I miss her so much and cry for her every day. I’m checking with a few AKC Breeders of Merit to find a a puppy. I pray I find one soon. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. She was an integral part of my life.

[@KBfam22]

[@papillonsimbild7015]

Well explained! Greetings from Austria/Vienna :-)

[@bambiwest1391]

I had to laugh when he said they’re not lap dogs 😂 just try to go to the bathroom without your papillon not wanting to sit in you lap. They are smart as a whip. Our current boy Jasper is not out-going as he was a rescue who was removed from a hoarder who also mistreated him. He is skittish and doesn’t trust other people, but our last papillon was a rescue too and he was lovable, fast as grease lightening, highly intelligent and was a phalene variety - drop eared. His name was Sebastian and he and our male basset hound would wrestle and rough house. One thing this man didn’t mention is their intense stare …. The have the most penetrating gaze/stare of any dog I have ever had.

[@jaymeamble8023]

Omg mine was a papillon rescue! and came to me as jasper! He is skiddish too! he just hides under the bed all day but has really come a long way. He is much happier now and really loves me and especially my son and really enjoys his walks. He often times gets frisky and wants play. He is so smart and wouldn’t answer to Jasper, so he named himself Rad. he wanted to be Brad but we had a Brad in the household already, so we came up with Rad and he likes it. His full name Conrad🥰😂. I wish the lil guy could tell me his story…

[@pattieodonnell723]

Ours was left for 12-13 hours/day by a previous owner and has huge abandonment issues - always has to be with one of us. Paps are not good dogs if you live alone and aren't home much!!!

[@bambiwest1391]

It is sad how a bad owner can cause such damage to any dog. Our little guy, Jasper, doesn’t seem to have abandonment issues and he isn’t excessively clingy - he does get all excited when I come home even though my husband is there. He also has other dogs to play with. But when mommy comes home the roof starts to rock from all their excitement 🐶☺️

This was my wondering as I had chosen this breed as my next baby. But as I will be retiring I wanted a lap dog.

[@maryannkom299]

Some of them love the lap and others don’t. I’ve got one that like the lap and one who isn’t the least bit cuddly. He’s 11 and he still just wants to play all day.

[@maryannkom299]

@@jessicaharvey7446 many of them are lap dogs, but know they shed a lot and as puppies they are extremely high energy and will drive you crazy if they don’t get enough exercise. I know people hate dog parks, but I lived in an apartment and he had to spend at least one hour a day at the park, running and chasing his ball or he’d climb the walls at home. But they are a wonderful breed, beautiful and so much fun. I also love them because they are a healthy breed, they can reproduce without special help, unlike other breeds (French bulldogs and English bulldogs) they give birth fine they can breathe. They aren’t altered by tail or ear docking. They’re fun and athletic and so loving.

Are they heavy barkers?

[@bambiwest1391]

I will say they can be. They’ll defend their home and you … of course my little guy defends me against the evil vacuum cleaner 😂. But they’re not like some small dogs that shake and shiver or are nervous- they are a very confident breed. They can fly let me tell you. Watch a KZbin video of one of these little guys in an agility contest and you’ll be amazed. They are loose in the hips and this gives them speed and agility to corner. I will say when I saw people in this video with sweaters on their papillon I rolled my eyes. They have thick/long long fur so unless you live where it gets doggone cold in the winter, a pap isn’t going to want to wear a sweater.

[@noahninetyone]

omg phalene is french for moth. The little drop-eared "moth" dogs are cuter in my opinion.😂

[@bambiwest1391]

Yes it is! When a butterfly lands/rests, it rests with its wings in the upright position; whereas when a moth lands/rests, it rests with its wings down….hence papillons with ears up = butterfly wings up and phalene = moth wings down 😉

[@SharonMB88]

I have a Phalene boy named Eli, though his ears are like a papillon. Now one ear is hanging and the other stands up. On paper he is a Phalene though. I love both.

My papillon needs brushing every day or she will get mats and tangles. They have sensitive skin and will get to hate grooming if it involves tugging at those, so it's best to keep on top of it. .Not all paps have the same coat.
