| Any Papillon owners out there?
I bought a Pap 2 1/2 months ago & she is currently 4 1/2 months old and love her to pieces!!! I was just wondering if any other Pap owners had any breed specific insights or advice for me.
Currently my only issues are:
1) Getting her to consistently tell us its potty time as she does not bark or whine ever!
2) Getting her to play a little more gently with the 14 pound cats!
3) She gets bored really quick with her toys
4) She has the ability to learn her obidience commands but its like she "forgets" the next day
5) Sleeping through the night in her crate is inconsistent. I can get about 6 hours out of her. Then all of a sudden she will do 7-8 hours!!
Regardless, she is the best ever and loves to snuggle with me over playing with her toys!
I would post a picture here but cannot figure out how :-( |

| Congrats on your new papillon!
I don't have too much advice, but I'm sure you'll find your puppy to be amazing. Papillons are awesome. Mine are both very intelligent little guys.
About sleeping through the night, 6-8 hours for a young pup is pretty good. Beau was pretty bad about sleeping through the night for a while, while Harry slept through the night quietly from the day we got him home. Make sure you have enough toys for her, papillons are a very intelligent and active breed.
Beware, papillons are addicting.  http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...z/Paps/yay.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...s/harrywen.jpg
there's my boys. |

| My parents have a Papillion and it is by far the best behaved dog I have ever met. He's also very smart. I have nothing of substance to really add to this, but congrats on your new family member! | |

Me! Me! I have two Papillons. Squirty, the red and white who is one year old, and a brand new baby black and white male Tonka. Love them! They have so much personality and energy, so much fun to watch and play with.  | |

I have one Papillon. What I can tell you is what I have experienced with mine but that might not be typical.
First you already probably know that they are EXTREMELY intelligent dogs and need to be challenged. The toy boredom may only be that they want someone else playing with them to challenge them.
They would make excellent agility or therapy dogs because they are smart and learn quickly.
I did not experience the issue with them playing less roughly. My Pap at 10 years old is still only about 6 pounds and I think 2 pounds of that is hair. I was more afraid that someone would hurt her while playing.
The 6 to 8 hours for a puppy is good. The harder they play during the day the longer they sleep at night. | |

For all you Pap owners, if you don't have it already get the book Memoires of a Papillon by Genevieve. I read it at Barnes & Noble and if I was getting or had a Papillon, I'd definitely add it to my library. Not only is it a fun read, it gives an excellent idea of the Papillon personality. | |

Your two are gorgeous! I absolutely love Fisher! I don't have a site yet. We don't breed yet, but we did show our male, Beau.
This is Beau: 
He's four and hasn't been shown in two years. 
Rose was shown, but hated it. We had her spayed, but now regret it, she turned out beautifully! 
Summer was never shown because her coat is so short, but she has been bred twice by her breeder. Neither litter took, though, so she was spayed.
And then our new hopeful show dog, Bernard: 
We're just waiting on him to grow some hair. | |
