An Impression of the Breed 
"The Papillon is a child, which remains a child all its life, who loves caresses and returns them, plays about even when old, he is a most sensitive dog, if you scold him he will gaze at you with eyes hill of tears, so much so that one is quite disarmed. 
"He is neither grumpy nor nasty. If you get ready to go out he is an intelligent dog which understands perfectly from a head movement whether you intend to take him with you for a walk or whether you are leaving him at home; straightaway he will go to the cushion or sofa where he usually lies, waiting patiently, and when you return he will give you a thousand kisses without rancour. 
"He eats little, but very cleanly, is fairly fussy over food, bad smells put him off. 
"His silky coat, long and abundant, is easy to look after, he loves being groomed, brush, comb and even perfume please him very greatly; he loves to be flattered, he wriggles and gives you a thousand kisses if you tell him he is "gorgeous". One little fault, which is a quality, he is jealous and does not like people to come near the person he has adopted. "The bitch is a wonderful mother, adoring her pups, and contrary to other mothers she is happy and proud when someone comes to visit her babies, she kisses you. "A good guard, he is a watchdog which barks at the slightest noise". Mme. Palhies.
