papillon

I found this forum on Google when searching for behavioral issues of Papillons. I have a 9 month old male Papillon neutered. I believe that I may spoil him, but am not sure. BamBam is increasingly aggressive toward my 3 cats. He nips at them, chases them and will even scrap with them. He also...

Hello. Papillons have always been my favorite breed of dogs. I have done my research on the breed and know almost everything about the breed. But since the Papillon is not a popular breed like a golden for example, information on breeders are limited. Not a lot of breeders have website or are...

This is a question for any owners (current or former) of Japanese chins and/or Papillon dogs... I live in an apt, working (mostly) from home, with a (dog-friendly) park just down the street from me. I am moderately active and enjoy being outdoors (when the weather allows). (I live in the...

Hi! We have a papillion mix...possible border collie or sheltie mix as her other half... We got her from a family that was moving and couldn't take her with them. She was about 6-7 months when we got her and were told she would be a year old this past March 1st. She was basically ignored by the...

Hi: I just got Enzo, and am curious what sort of mix you think he is. He was identified as a Papillon, and some people say that he might be a spaniel mix. He has a long snout, perky ears, a fluffy curled tail that is usually upright, and weighs 15 lbs. He has black markings on his ear tips and...

So I haven't even had Bella a week yet, but I feel so anxious about leaving her behind tomorrow when I leave for work. It will be the first day I've left home since having her. Last night, I put her in her crate (in my bedroom) and I went into the other side of the house to watch tv. Within 2...

This is Luna. Father a Papillon and mother a Shih Tzu. She is 7 months old (these photos taken today) have had her since she was 8 weeks! I clip her fur and nails myself. She is very patient with her clip as I keep her legs, chest, neck, head and tail fluffy while her body and face clipped down...

Alright, so after thinking about it, I would actually be interested in learning about raw for my Papillon. While I still can't see how commercial foods can be horrible for you dog, I do think he would enjoy eating raw. I think it would be fun for the both of us, but on the other hand I'm worried...

Shaved papillons? Blasphemy!

I'm thinking about breeding Papillons and I'm trying to find out about genetic health testing. I found a list of things I could test for: -Patellar Luxation -Progessive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) -hip dysplasia -elbow dysplasia -hypothyroidism -von Willebrand's disease -thrombopathia I asked my...

Hello, I've been a lurker for a couple of months now and I finally decided to sign up to share my precious babies with you guys. This scruffy little man is Gooby. Gooby is a Yorkshire Terrier, Dachshund, and Maltese mix. He's 8 months old and full of energy. He loves to go on walks, go on car...

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum, as I'm getting my brand new papillon puppy tonight! I'm a first time puppy owner (have gotten older dogs before) and am mostly concerned with potty training a papillon. Every website, book, and article I've read says they're very difficult to train. I have...

Hey guys. I'll be getting a Papillon in a couple weeks, and I'm trying to prepare supplies. From what I've found in my book and online, the recommended crate size for a Papillon is about 24" long. I asked his breeder what size crate he's currently using, and she said he's in a 300 size kennel...

Hi all! We have a 1 year old papillon female who we lovingly call "Fuzz." Or Lucy when people want to know her "real" name. Fuzz has been to the groomer a few times and luckily ours is smart enough to know that you DON'T cut off the ear fringe. That makes us happy. :) Lol My question is -...

We have a little papillon that just turned a year in September. She is so much fun, and she loves to play fetch with the family. She's learning sit, lay down and stay. She is VERY intelligent and loves to please. Our issue is when it comes to treats. I wanted to incorporate treats into our...

I have a three and a half year-old papillon who tends to be a worry-wart and is a real talker--not so much a barker but whines a ton to communicate her excitement and happiness as well as fears. Recently she's been acting very strange and I'm trying to put the pieces together to figure out...

Hi, I just got a Papillon and she is 7 1/2 months old. She is very timid and likes to hide under the Christmas tree. She doesn't come to us, and seems to be completely "at home" in her pen. I am just wondering if this is typical, or if she is still adjusting? She came from a home with about 10...

I have two 13 and 1/2 week old Papillon puppies and they are already showing signs of being so smart. This is the first time I have owned a Papillon, as I am used to Golden Retrievers. I am wondering at what age is it appropriate to start teaching them tricks like sit, shake a paw, etc. I'm not...

I can't believe how fast the time is going. She actually officially turned 6 months a few days ago, but I couldn't find my camera. I take cell phone pics but they never turn out very good. My camera isn't a lot better, but it does take a little better pictures. Here's my girl--- not her best...

Hello, I recently brought home a pair of 8 week (now almost 10 week) old Papillon puppies. We've only had them a little over a week and already we are having a variety of problems. The other day we noticed that Abby is missing patches of hair on her face. We took her to the vet and the vet...
