This deceptively cute, butterfly-eared dog is smarter, tougher and stronger than it appears (it's like the bionic dog).

Often described as a big dog in a little body, it has the athletic stamina to keep up on long walks and the bravura of a canine 10 times its size.

The Papillon is a true companion and watchdog. Although they can be ferociously protective over what belongs to them, their keen intelligence makes it possible to take them anywhere. Let's not forget they can be litter-box trained, a big plus.

  1. Most dogs are smart. The person training the dog has to be smarter than the dog! I’ve had Labs for 30 yrs + and they can’t talk, but they can get the message across to you in a lot of different ways !! An awesome breed !!
