Papillon Dogs Pictures Brief information on Papillon: The Papillon (from the French word
for butterfly, pronounced: [papiˈjɔ̃]), also called the Continental Toy
Spaniel, is a breed of dog of the Spaniel type. One of the oldest of
the toy spaniels, it derives its name from its characteristic
butterfly-like look of the long and fringed hair on the ears. A papillon
with dropped ears is called a Phalène (French for moth). The small head
is slightly rounded between the ears with a well defined stop. The
muzzle is somewhat short, thin tapering to the nose. The dark, medium
sized, round eyes have thin black rims, often extending at the junction
of the eyelids towards the ears. The large ears can either be erect or
dropped with rounded tips. The teeth meet in a scissors bite. The long
tail is set high carried over the body, and covered with long, fine
hair. Dewclaws are sometimes removed. The straight, long, fine, single
coat has extra frill on the chest, ears, back of the legs and the tail.
Coat color is white with patches of any color. A mask of a color other
than white covers both ears and eyes from back to front.
