Papillon

Papillon dogs are wonderful companions and family dogs. They are great for apartment living, as they adapt very well. These are easy-going dogs and they are wonderful for novice and first time dog owners. Papillons do not enjoy being alone, so if you're one who has a very busy schedule, this may not be the dog breed for you.

These dogs are very friendly towards strangers, kids and other dogs. They do not shed very much and are easy to groom. These dogs are very intelligent and take well to training. They are a high energy dog breed so they do require a bit of exercise.

Papillons are classified as a small dog breed and companion dogs. They grow to be an average size of 7-11 inches tall. Papillons only weigh 4-9 pounds and are expected to live to be 12-16 years old.
