Introduction

A small dog, measuring 8 to 11 at the shoulder, you can still place the papillon a block away, thanks to the large, feather-shaped ears that give the breed its name (“papillon” “butterfly” Is French for “). Some paps have raised ears; In others, known as the phallin type, the ears are below. With a color tail, and a long, silky coat of many color combinations, the crusts are shiny and elegant, the base color is white. Paps are small dogs for all seasons and reasons, much stronger than they look. They roam the city or country, in hot or cold weather, and are eager to join in the family fun. They are dogs of excellent agility and are consistent winners at the highest levels of the game; Less ambitious owners can train them to do all kinds of tricks.

History

Papillas were originally reared as attractive and attentive companions to the nobles, and for hundreds of years these enchanting lap warmers were a favorite in the royal courts of Europe. They appear in many portraits of long-time queens and princesses painted by Europe’s best-known artists. Rubens, Rembrandt, Goya and Toulouse-Lutrec are among the nobles who included papillas in their paintings. Existing toy breeds were developed in the Renaissance period by crossing with the spaniels (known as “dwarf spaniels” to keep the ancestors of the breed with the frenzy of the era among the nobles for a miniature version of their favorite breeds) used to go). The sports-spaniel blood in Pap’s bacround may explain that these Dinty Dynamos are one of the more athletic and bidding toy dogs in the Canine Empire. With Madame de Pompadour, Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette (after whom Isbe’s name comes from, where she stood faithfully outside the prison where the helpless queen was waiting), the breed’s French connection is strong. But it was among the early breeding centers in Italy and Spain that Peps was refined and popularized. In 1915 AKC registered its first papillon.

Breeding

The gestation period in lasts for 60-64 days The primary period of the reproductive cycle of the female is called Proestrus and goes on for around 9 days. During this time the females begin to draw in males. The subsequent part is the Estrus when the bitch is receptive to the male. It goes on for around 3 to 11 days. The third part is the Diestrus. Usually, it happens around day 14. In this period the bitch’s discharge changes for distinctive red and reaching its end. The vulva gets back to average, and she will no longer allow mating. The fourth part called the Anestrus. The time span between heat periods ordinarily keeps going around a half year. The litter size ranges between 6 to 8 puppies at a time’

Grooming

For a breed with long, silky hair, papillas require surprisingly little grooming, mostly because they do not have an undercoat. Every month or so is fine. Between the full grooming sessions, you’ll want to spend a few minutes running a comb or soft slicker brush on the inside of the hind legs, behind the ears, and on “pulotes” or thigh hair, as mats are made there. A papillon will require a bath every few months, or when it becomes particularly sloppy or dirty. Papillon nails grow quickly and should be trimmed regularly – especially Declav, which can curl around and pierce. Finally, regular dental cleaning is important for dental health.

Training

The Papillons are intelligent and eager to please the humans with whom they have formed relationships. Typically, some smaller breeds may take a bit longer indoors than larger breeds, but papillons make the process easier. Early socialization is very important, and obedience classes are a good idea – your papillon will ask you to do what you tell him to do, and you will not learn to eliminate your adorable partner. And remember that Papillon is the Companion Dog of the heart; They can become unhappy and develop undesirable behavior if left alone for long periods of time. Fortunately, a Papillon can form relationships with other pets as well as humans.

Nutrition

Thanks to its small size, papillons make wonderful indoor pets, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need exercise. They are active, smart dogs, and they would like their people to play with them. Indoors, they enjoy getting a small ball or toy – a Papillon will quickly learn to bring it back so that you can throw it again. From the outside, true to their Spaniel heritage, Papillon would happily run into the yard to chase after squirrels, chipmunk and even insects. Papillas don’t realize how small they really are, so owners need to watch carefully if they set out after a big dog, or even a cat.

Exercise

Papillon should perform well on high quality dog ​​food, whether it is commercially manufactured or prepared with the supervision and approval of your veterinarian. Any diet should be appropriate for the age of the dog (puppy, adult or senior). Some dogs are at risk of being overweight, so watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight level. Treatment training can be an important aid, but giving too much can lead to obesity. Know which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. If you have any concerns about your dog’s weight or diet, check with your vet. Clean, fresh water must be available at all times.

Health

Papillons are tough and hardy, but they are very small. Owners need to be careful with them, especially when they are around puppies, stairs, furniture, and other, larger animals. A small child can accidentally hurt their puppy friend very easily. Responsible breeders screened their stock for health conditions, such as a fontanel in the top of the skull, similar to the soft spot of a human baby; And patellar luxation, or kneecaps that can “”slip”” or dislocate, sometimes briefly, sometimes completely.

Recommended health tests from the National Breed Club:

  • Ophthalmologist evaluation
  • Patella rating
  • Cardiac examination
