The Papillon is a small, friendly, elegant toy dog of fine-boned structure, light, dainty and of lively action; distinguished from other breeds by its beautiful butterfly-like ears. Their coat is abundant, long, fine, silky, flowing, straight with resilient quality, flat on back and sides of body. A profuse frill on chest. There is no undercoat. Ears well fringed with the inside covered with silken hair of medium length. Tail is long, well fringed, set on high, arched over back with fringes falling to side to form plume.
Colour is White with patches of any colour except liver. Tricolour are black & white with tan spots over the eyes, inside cheeks, and under root of tail.
Height is 8-11 inches, anything over 11 inches being a fault and over 12 inches a disqualification.
All my Papillons live in my home and travel everywhere with me. I Love each and every one of them. All my puppies & adults must go to Loving homes. |
