He is soooo adorable and everything that is mentioned about the breed in this article. We can’t get over how intelligent he is. What a super dog. She just had her little pug that was 14 yrs. old die a few weeks ago and two months before that her husband died of cancer!! This little dog is such a blessing to her, and I’m sooooo glad to see her smiling and helping her through this rough time in life!! Happy Pappy is his name we call him, and I swear, EVERYONE in PetSmart went crazy over him . He saw another dog in the next aisle over and Pappy starting walking backwards!! It was so hilarious. And when they went by the cats in the window , he stood straight up on his hind legs looking into the cats cages. The manager was having a ball watching him that she walked around the store with my mom laughing with us!! What a wonderful experience that was to have this dog bring soooo much joy and excitement for my mother.
It was just heartbreaking to go into that shelter and see ALL those dogs and having to choose the lucky one that we would take home with us. On the way to her house, my mom looked over at the dog and said, “wow, can you imagine having to put that dog to sleep because it’s time was up; at the shelter?” Makes us sick just thinking about it.
Anyways, sorry to take up so much space, but I couldn’t help myself and just wanted to let other people that have never been around one know that they are an incredible breed of dog this truly is!! Very good in the car. AN Angel in the tub, smart and attentive. Alittle sweetheart, and we’re in total awe about this great dog. Beautiful fur … the listgoes on and on about this dog.. We can’t believe what a perfect dog pappy is and feel fortunate we feel found her at t he shelter
So, now that I wrote almost an entire boo

The description of care and personality of papillons is just like papillons I’ve owned sice 1977!
