Papillon Characteristics
The Papillon, also called the Continental Toy Spaniel, is a breed of dog, of the spaniel type. This type of breed is kind, kind, friendly, playful and curious. They can also be calm, patient and gentle. They surrender completely to their owners, looking somewhat maliciously at strangers.
Papillons are generally outgoing, happy dogs that enjoy running around the house. Contrary to popular belief, these dogs are not lap dogs. However, they do love companionship and will always try to be where their humans are. If you are away from home for long hours of the day, this is not the breed for you!
