About Papillon

Country of Origin, History of the breed The Papillon's Country of origin is a mystery. The dog is one of the oldest breeds and its history can be traced back to 700 years. The word 'Papillon' means 'butterfly dog' in French. The dog got its name because of its big butterfly ears. The drop-eared variety of the breed is known as the Phalene. The dog also appeared in the paintings of the Renaissance period and was favored by the royal families across the European Continent. The credit of perfecting the breed goes to the French breeders.

Harsh chemicals, electrical cords should be kept out of their reach and they should be allowed to play at intervals. Hygeine is a must. Chewable toys would dissuade him from chewing up furniture during teething.

Severe hypoglycemia may even be fatal for pups. Hypoglycemic pups should be treated with doses of karo syrup or Nutri-cal and a vet should be consulted if the condition persists.
