This is a long-lived breed. It’s common for Papillons to live well into their teens, and if you’re considering purchasing one you should take that into consideration. The dog will be a member of your family for years to come.
Like every dog, Papillons need early socialization — exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences — when they’re young.
The breed’s sparkling personality makes these dogs a favorite of all who meet them.
