They are surprisingly energetic. They are intelligent and enjoy obedience, and are even starting to show up in dog sports, such as agility. They are still small dogs though, and fragile, so I wouldn’t recommend them with young children. They love attention and look so graceful when they move, with their long, flowing coats (which are not incredibly hard to care for).
All up, a beautiful, intelligent dog, reasonably easy to take care of, and adaptable – if you want an exercise partner, they will do their best to keep up, and if you want a lapdog, they are perfect.
Good luck.
I would describe Papillons as being constantly alert, upbeat, and ready to do anything type of dog. They are energetic and bold. They love, love, lover interacting with people so they thrive in homes that spend a lot of time with them, training them, and playing with them. They excel in agility and obedience because under the fro-fro dog is a true working animal. They are very affectionate with their person, friendly with strangers, but most prefer to be playing and training than being pet and cuddled with. They are perfect companions for someone who likes the traits of a big dog but wants it in a smaller package.
From good breeding lines, they tend to be long lived (14 yrs being the norm) and healthy. They suffer from few hereditary conditions and those that afflict the breed are seldom life threatening. They do require brushing and bathing to look their best, but they don’t need any professional grooming. They do require dental care because their small mouths make them highly prone to periodontal disease which could lead to major health problems if not addressed. Simple brushing on a regular basis or veterinary dentals should solve the problem.
They can be a bit too hyper for some homes and when lacking stimulation and training, they can become aggressive and annoying. They do bark and because of their small size coupled with high metabolism, they need frequent potty breaks making housebreaking a big challenge unless you can accommodate them with a litter box.
