I'm using my laptop right now, and the monitor is horrible so I can't see the dog very well. Looks like it may be a papillon. Here is some information on them:

=== === ===

WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?

Papillons are great little dogs, I adore them. They are the perfect dog for me, but they aren't for everyone.

*** If you want a calm lapdog or a cuddly dog, do NOT get a papillon. It will not be a good fit for you. ***

Top 10 reasons why NOT to get a papillon:
http://pap911.rescuegroups.org/info/display?PageID=2924

Papillons have very friendly, adventerous temperments. From the AKC breed description, "Happy, alert and friendly. Neither shy nor aggressive."
http://www.akc.org/breeds/papillon/

Papillons are very intelligent (sometimes too much so for their own good!). They are in the top 10 most intelligent dogs breeds.
http://petrix.com/dogint/1-10.html

One of the "most trainable toy breeds".

Here is your rainbow of colors to choose from:
http://www.braylorspapillons.com/colors.htm

They are a very demanding and dependent dog. They may not like to cuddle, but they like to be around you and they LOVE to play. Paps will literally come up and launch one of their toys at your face to get you to play with them.

They are also tricksters and will find ways to try to manipulate their owners. If they aren't supposed to have something, they'll try to make it look like they have one of their toys and hide the "forbidden object" behind it.
My pap also tricked my parents poodle when I was dog-sitting for them a couple weeks ago. She would run to the door and bark so the poodle would drop the toy it had to check out what the commotion was about, then my pap would run back and steal the dropped toy.

Papillons NEED to be stimulated. They are not dogs that can be left to their own means. They need training and thrive when they have a "job", such as obedience or agility. (If you want to get into agility, they are the top choice in their height category. They can even beat border collie times on some courses, but due to size difference, they will never be competing against border collies.)

Also be aware that they are athletic dogs and can achieve things you wouldn't normally think a dog that size can. For example, my papillon can jump high enough to steal things off the kitchen counter. She can jump at least 4 feet into the air.

Papillons do and will bark. They are a vocal breed and are alarm barkers so if they hear something, or if anything seems out of place, they see it as their job to alert you to it.

Papillons come in 2 varieties, the "butterfly" (papillon) and the "moth" (phalene).

GROOMING

Paps require regular grooming, but it's not extensive.

In addition to the regular dog stuff (clip nails, brush teeth, etc), they need brushed a couple times a week. Also, the hair between the pads on their feet gets long, so that needs trimmed at least monthly. Use a bristle-brush, NOT a slicker brush. A slicker brush will damage their silky fur.

WHERE TO GET ONE?

If you are wanting to get a puppy from a breeder, check out the following link:
- http://www.papillonclub.org/pcabreederslist.htm
Or find a reputable breeder by attending some dog shows and agility competitions. You will find papillons in both places and can get some good recommendations for quality breeders from there.

Papillons are starting to show up more commonly in puppymills, so be wary and make sure you are getting one from a reputable breeder.

If you are okay with getting an older dog (which can have it's benefits, like it's already housebroken, already done teething, likely has some training, etc.), then you may be able to get a dog from one of the following papillon rescues:

- http://www.paphaven.org/
- http://www.pap911rescue.org/

COST?

A papillon from a reputable breeder will be no cheaper than $750 at the absolute cheapest. Prices are usually closer to $1000-$1600 for a pet. Females tend to be pricier than males.
