i have 2 papillions i rescued one so i would first ask you to try the shelter if that doesn't work out look in you're paper or phone book for breeders DO NOT GO TO A PET SHOP unless you KNOW that they don't get the dogs from a puppy mill
do some research on the net about how to point out a good breeder and a healthy puppy make sure you know what you are doing and that you are ready for this responsibility here are some sites that helped me, oh and i got my pap puppy for $800 you may find an older dog for $500

Papillons are high maintance dogs but they make wonderful pets, even tempered and spunky. However they should be groomed at least 2 xs a day. As for bathing a dog once a month is enough if the pup is dirty, with constant grooming the pup can go without a bath forever if you are a great caregiver. Constant bathing will deplete the skin of their natural oils and create skin problems. I had a vet tell me once that most dogs don't ever need baths if they are cared for properly. Get a good grooming brush one especially for long haired dogs. About fleas, never use a flea collar, the collar rushes the fleas up their nose,ears and anus which breeds bugs and worms inside your dog. The best results I have found is Hartz Ultra Guard Flea and Tick spray .Use the spray while you are grooming so it gets deep into the fur. I have never had fleas or ticks and I live in the desert. I have 4 long haired dogs and its a joy to spend a couple of hours a day grooming them. They love it and look fabulous.

There is a good breeder in Dana Point California but you are not going to get a beautiful healthy well bred dog for that price in any breed. Better save your money. Buying a healty well bred dog will save you thousands in vet bills and a broken heart. If you only have $500 you can't afford a dog anyway,you will pay about another $500 spaying and puppy shots. Be prepared if you are going to take on the care and health of an animal.
Good luck, they are adorable and smart too.

You most likely will not get a puppy puppy, but try the PCA rescue.
I heard from a breeder *while attempting to get me a pap. wound up with a pet store pup. don't do that* who had been in Cali. She said that she knew breeders out there selling their pups for $3000 a pop. I'd say that you should save your money and bide your time until you can get one. It's better to spend more through a reputable breeder than do something stupid without thinking, realise your mistake, and then freak the f*ck out because you don't know exactly what you got. BYBs are bad. Petstores are bad. Find yourself a good breeder, save, and wait.

You won't find a Pap from a reputable breeder for that much. Paps with certifications and proper health testing will go for much more. You could, however, look into rescueing a Pap from a local shelter or rescue organization. Pap 911 is an awesome organization!!!
