The Papillon is a small, lively, and affectionate toy breed known for its distinctive "butterfly-like" ears, which give it its name. Weighing around 5-10 pounds and standing 8-11 inches tall, Papillons are energetic, intelligent, and highly trainable. They are friendly, social, and get along well with people, children, and other pets, making them great family companions. Despite their small size, they have a confident and bold personality. Papillons are often seen excelling in dog sports like agility due to their agility and eagerness to please. Their long, silky coat requires regular grooming, but they are otherwise relatively low-maintenance. Known for their playful nature, Papillons enjoy interactive games and need daily mental and physical stimulation to stay happy.
