Papillon dogs are very valuable companion dogs and toy dogs in Western countries. They have been popular from 500 years ago to the present because of their noble and elegant attitude, charming and pretty appearance, considerate IQ, especially facial features. This beautiful butterfly is loved by people from all over the world.

 (1) Should I raise a small Papillon or a large Papillon?

The "big and small" here refer to the age difference between Papillon dogs. The Papillon is relatively easy to train and will quickly develop a deep relationship with its owner. However, the little butterfly dog ​​has poor self-care ability and is very dependent on people. It needs meticulous care from the owner for a period of time in the beginning. You have to devote a lot of time and energy to it. But when the Papillon grows up, you will be the "father" or "mother" in its heart. At the same time, you take care of the Papillon with your own hands, and its status in your heart will be like yours. Like a child.

The relationship between the Papillon Dog and you is similar to a brotherly friendship, and it does not require too much care from you. But if the Papillon Dog has a very deep relationship with its original owner, it will run back to its original home when you are not paying attention. But there are also Papillon dogs whose original living environment is not good, and they often don’t have enough to eat and are beaten all the time. If you treat them very well, they will often repay you with the greatest loyalty.

Please note that if it is a Papillon puppy, it is best to adopt it when it is two months old. Too early is not good.

(2) Should I raise a male Papillon or a female Papillon?

In terms of appearance, the only difference between the female Papillon and the male Papillon is that they are slightly smaller.

In terms of personality, female Papillon dogs are more obedient and tame. The female Papillon goes into estrus almost twice a year, which means she can give birth to a litter of puppies at least half a year. After the female Papillon gave birth to a puppy, her body began to change. She lost more hair and was not as beautiful as before. Male Papillon dogs are more naughty and active, but their body shape and coat color can be maintained for a long time. After the male Papillon is one year old (some large Papillon dogs are later), he will be attentive to the female Papillon regardless of the occasion and time. If you like to be quiet, you can adopt a female Papillon. You can also see the birth of the puppies.

(3) What size of butterfly dog ​​should I raise?

Papillon dogs are divided into small, medium and large sizes. The representative of the small Papillon Dog is our common Pekingese Papillon Dog (Peking Eight);The representative of the medium-sized Papillon Dog is Shar-Pei; the representative of the large-sized Papillon Dog is Black Back. Deciding which butterfly dog ​​to raise should start from your living conditions. In addition, large butterfly dogs need to eat several times more feed, which is also a big expense. But no matter what kind of Papillon you have, don’t forget to take it out for a run in the open air every day.

(4) Should I choose a long-haired Papillon or a short-haired Papillon?

The long-haired butterfly dog ​​is very beautiful, but it needs to be groomed and cleaned every day. Just after taking a bath and going out for a while, it turns into a little mud monkey again. And from now on, Papillon dog’s fur will appear in every corner of the home, which is not suitable for people who particularly like to be clean. The short-haired Papillon does not have the above shortcomings. It is easy to dry out after a bath, and the chance of catching a cold is much less than that of the long-haired Papillon. However, short-haired Papillon dogs are more sensitive to the cold, and some short-haired Papillon dogs (such as Shar-Pei) have too many wrinkles on their bodies and are prone to serious skin diseases.
