Papillon
I'm energetic, friendly, cheerful, charming, dainty.
Nothing says “lap dog” like a Papillon. But this small dog isn’t just a cuddler – he’s full of energy and freely hands out kisses. Papillons are great playmates for kids and other family pets, and they won’t be bullied by larger dogs.
The Papillon gets its name, which translates from French to butterfly, from the distinct shape of its ears. They tend to live long, full lives and are be a great addition to any dedicated family.
