Is a Papillon the right dog for our family?
The question regarding the “right” breed for your family is purely a personal one based on your family’s needs and activities. The Papillon is a “Companion” breed – it needs to be an integral part of your household and interact with family members – they are terrific for the family who likes to travel (easily tucked under the seat of an airplane or curled up in an RV). They are also highly intelligent and active, and have done exceptionally well in competitive obedience and agility. Take a look at your family situation, needs, and how much time that you have to interact with a new family member.
