PAPILLON BEHAVIOR
______________________________
The Papillon is
always alert, playful, and elegant. They are intelligent and friendly, taking great delight in meeting and greeting everyone they
come into contact with. The Papillon does not display a shy or aggressive nature.
They are highly energetic and athletic, but are also calm and
patient - but not as puppies. They are gentle and
affectionate and love to be cuddled.
A steady and obedient breed, the Papillon does well with older considerate children.
Papillons may display possessiveness of their owner. Our's sure does!
They are quick to alert their family to danger or visitors,
and may have a propensity to bark at all sights and sounds.
However, they are not yappy or high strung. Indeed, the Papillon is a lovely
companion.
The Papillon is extremely obedient, agile and it has uncanny ability to solve
problems. However, Papillons are very strong willed so you
have to have the authority and show it while they are still very
young. They require intense socialization at an early age,
most notably with cats.
Papillons are highly trainable and do extremly well in the competitive show ring. They also make excellent therapy and
service dogs. They respond best to consistent, loving and
gentle guidance. The Papillon also loves to learn and perform
tricks and are smart. Oh so smart!
