Papillon dogs may be the most suitable companion animals for humans. Their average age is 11 to 15 years, and can even reach more than 20 years. They can live with us for such a long time, so you must consider carefully when choosing, whether to choose a large Papillon dog or a Papillon dog. Small Papillon, long hair or short hair, male or female Papillon. Pets should be kept from an early age. It is best to choose Papillon dogs from 2 months to 6 months old, which are easy to train and cultivate affection. If there is someone at home to take care of them, you can choose long-haired Papillon dogs. They need to be groomed and trimmed frequently, especially when changing. During the coat season, they must be cared for especially well, so that they can become a lovable and attractive butterfly dog. You also need to consider whether to choose a male butterfly dog ​​or a female butterfly dog. Male butterfly dogs are usually better than female butterfly dogs. The dogs are larger and more lively, while the female butterfly dogs are more affectionate, homesick, and especially like children.

Usually we choose pets from the breeding farms of pet companies, pet stores or from friends. Papillon dogs in the formal department can only provide a pedigree certificate, which contains: butterfly dog ​​breed name, butterfly dog ​​name, date of birth, gender, coat color, breeder, and vaccination time. In this way, you can know the origin of the puppy and general information such as whether it has been vaccinated. When purchasing a butterfly dog, we must observe carefully and do not act too hastily. When observing, pay attention to:

The ears and eyes are very important and should be carefully checked for any problems. The ears should be flexible, the ear canals should be clean, and there should be no odor. If the inside of the ears is pink, it is considered healthy. There should be no dander on the tips of the ears to prevent parasites. Frequent tilting of the head and ears may indicate something is wrong in the ears.

The skin should be soft and elastic, not hard or thick. Pay attention to whether there are parasites such as lice, scabies mites or other skin diseases on the skin. Papillon dogs with skin diseases or parasites must be unable to bear it in a short period of time and scratch the diseased parts with their claws, not just once, but many times in a row. You need to see clearly where it scratches to see if there are any red spots. A closer inspection will reveal skin problems.

Special attention should be paid to the lower part of the butterfly dog's tail. If there is a "yellow mark", it is a sign of recent diarrhea or dysentery, and it is not advisable to buy it. Also check to see if the anus is red, swollen or ulcerated.

Check the Papillon’s foot pads. Soft and not dry, it is a healthy Papillon.

Observe whether the Papillon Dog likes to be close to people and get along with others. Do not choose a Papillon Dog that is nervous, timid, or emotionally unstable.

Pay attention to the bones of the Papillon Dog, such as whether the skull is deformed, whether the spine is bent, whether there are cracks in the jaw, and whether the hip and knee joints are dislocated, etc. It is best to touch the skull, maxilla, and mandible with your hands, and then touch the vertebrae and limb bones back along the cervical vertebrae. Then let the butterfly dog ​​exercise to see if its steps, running and jumping are graceful or lame. It is best to throw a paper ball or toy a little far in front of the Papillon dog when it is focused, and guide it to run or pounce forward to see if its reaction is agile and its movement is flexible.Are there any problems with the limb bones? Papillon dogs with skeletal problems are often caused by inbreeding and genetics and should not be kept. These problems need to be observed by yourself and cannot be explained on the pedigree certificate.

After choosing a butterfly dog, ask about the feeding situation. If you want to change the food, you must reduce the feeding amount. After the butterfly dog ​​adapts, you can resume increasing the feeding amount. If vaccination has not been carried out, wait until the butterfly dog ​​is well adjusted before going. This way you will have a healthy Papillon. Pay Attention to the Genetic Diseases of Papillon Dogs When purchasing a Papillon Dog, be sure to observe whether there are infectious diseases in the Papillon Dog's genes. Otherwise, buying a Papillon Dog at a high price will be very harmful to your family. Missing teeth take the spotted butterfly dog ​​as an example. Many spotted butterfly dogs have missing teeth, which is the result of inbreeding. Biting Some young Papillon dogs have extremely unstable temperaments and emotions. If the previous generation of Papillon dogs has bitten people, the next generation of Papillon dogs will also be prone to this phenomenon. "Inverted eyelashes" Inverted eyelashes will hurt the eyes of young Papillon dogs, which will become more serious after one year old. In severe cases, the eyeballs will develop a white film and degenerate. Generally, there are more Shar-Pei Papillons and Papillon Dogs.
