Description

Despite its small size, the papillon is a very courageous and alert four-legged friend. He is very intelligent and can be trained to be obedient. He is very affectionate towards his master/mistress and needs special care and attention. He needs very little exercise. It is therefore well suited for city apartments. However, its coat requires a lot of care.
