BREED: Papillon
|
|
|
Breed Description:
It is not unusual for Papillons, especially Papillon mixes, to be as much as 14" tall and 14 -15 lbs., though the norm for Papillons is generally 8-11 inches in height and weight 3-9 pounds. Papillons are typically parti-color (white with patches of any other color), including: black, black and tan, sable, red, lemon and liver. Occasionally Papillons can appear with very little white and then some may be almost all white.
The Papillon ears are its trademark - large, fringed, and shaped like butterfly wings. Both an erect-ear and drop-ear variety (known as the Phalene) can occur in this breed. And both varieties can occur in the same litter, sometimes resulting in dogs with one ear up and one down. Other distinguishing characteristics include a medium to long silky coat, and a tail (the plume) that curls over the back of the dog when happy or alert. Papillons are generally happy and responsive to humans, but can be very sensitive to stress. Stressful situations, such as shelter life, can bring about unusual behaviors including depression and withdrawal and even fear-biting.

Details about "DO YOU ACCEPT" responses:
Papillon 911 Rescue and Adoption,Inc. is a charitable organization created to rescue Papillons and Papillon mixes nationwide. We will supply food, shelter and loving attention plus medical and dental care to all Papillons in need. We will rescue and shelter any Papillon or Papillon mix abandoned in a kill shelter or from an owner who is unable to care for the Papillon.
We will especially focus our attention on locating and rescuing from a life of horror those dogs used as breeders in puppy mills. We will participate in the
rescue and placement of Papillons who are culled from the puppy mills or purchased at puppy mill auctions no matter what their health or age.
We will carefully match each dog to a new family and prescreen each adoptive family and their home before any placement takes place. We will take responsibility for each Papillon that becomes a part of Papillon 911 Rescue and Adoption, Inc. for the rest of its life.
We will seek to inform the public about the cruelty in the commercial dog industry.
We will seek to educate the public on the importance of spay/neuter for every pet and emphasize responsible pet ownership.
We do not have a shelter. The dogs are fostered in our homes.
