Positives
Papillon are lovely
family dogs, typical of a number of toy breeds. They get on well with
people of all ages, but will bark if a stranger comes to the door.
Negatives
If not properly
trained as a pup, Papillon can become "yappers". Therefore owners need to
be prepared to train their Papillon puppy correctly.
