Papillon Help?

Question

I plan on getting a papillon soon and i dont know waht gender or color,or how to prepare for it any advice??

Answer 1

Generally speaking males are more affectionate than females. Color is a preferences yes but if you would prefer to see less hair on the sofa, floors and yourself you might want avoid tri-colors. They have a thicker coat from what I was told and will shed more. Preparation is similar to what you would do for any other pet. A crate so that he/she will have somewhere to chill out, toys, combs and brushes it is best to have your puppy familiar with this things at an early age so that he/she won't throw a fit when you want to groom him/her. Nail clippers get your puppy with that as well so that you will have a easier time when nails need trimming. A bottle of urine/stain remover for those housebreaking accidents. Papillons in generally take a while to housebreak. My own Paps took about 2-3 years to get the idea. Toothbrushes and toothpaste, Papillons are known for bad breath sometimes. Dog food you should stay away from filler ingredients such as corn, corn meal, or meat-by-products. Papillons are very intelligent so keep the puppy mentally stimulated such as training or he/she will find something to do and it won't be what you want. If you truly want more information check out a bookstore and buy some Papillons books, they are very informative through all the stages of your puppy's life from puppyhood to senior. Hope this helpful and good luck!

Have you already located a reputable breeder? If not check out AKC's website at: http://www.akc.org/breeds/papillon/index.cfm AKCs website also had very valuable information on preparation for any new dog. Here is the link to the Papillon Rescue: http://www.papillonclub.org/rescue/ Also try http://www.petfinder.com/ for a list of Papillons in the shelter systems in your area. You can also contact the parent breed club at: http://www.papillonclub.org/ They should be able to help with information specific to Papillons. From a training standpoint...socialize your new puppy and get him/her started in training as early as possible. Make sure you find a reward based training class to enroll in. All little dogs need the help and confidence booster that reward based training can give them....

My daughter has a papillon and he's very good natured and a wonderful dog. Color is your personal preference and I can only say that her male dog is great. She has 3 other dogs and they all get along well.

Answer 4

My sister has one he is a neuterd male and is black and white.
He a a fun dog and gets along with many other dogs and cats.
He is very happy and loves to ride in the car.
Gender and color would be your own choice and what the person has available.

by all means get youself a chow!then you will have a dog worth something if you are not looking for a hunting dog, but chows are sometimes known to be good hunting dogs aswell ! a chow is protection companionship, not neurotic. they have a lot of other positave charectoristics too. they need no elaborate care and can rough it very well. they do however have their shortcomings and. they are big dogs, expensive to feed,and quiet often develop a p***y atitude for some people.if you live in the country they are the only sensable choice of dogs. good luck,and don,t spoil whatever dog you get to death!

Answer 6

Just to let you know that papillions are known to be "one person dogs". They are very protective of their owners. So, i would suggest socializing it at an early age.
