| Also known as the Continental
Toy Spaniel or Dwarf Spaniel, the Papillon is a distinctive looking
breed. The name Papillon (pronounced PAP-ee-yon) comes from the
French word meaning butterfly. This name references the distinctive ears
of this breed which are shaped like butterfly wings. No stranger to being
a modeling dog, this breed has appeared in paintings by old masters such
as Rubens, Titian and Van Dyke. |
