What can you tell me about Papillons? I am thinking about adopting one?

…. from a local rescue. http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=13648736 How is their health and temperament? Their grooming and exercise requirements? I know they are little dogs but how much can they weigh max? Do they get along well with big dogs and cats? Do they bark incessantly? I appreciate any information you can share about these adorable butterfly dogs.

She looks like a sweet girl.

I owned one papillon mix, and fostered two others. They were all very social. I would expect her to get along well with other dogs and cats. All three of mine thought they WERE big dogs, and were the only small dogs I have had who actually liked my big dogs.

Barking is a training issue – most dogs will bark incessantly if they are not taught otherwise.

Papillons are known for having a lot of stamina, even though they are small dogs. She will probably enjoy regular walks. I taught one of my fosters to run on a treadmill, as well.

They need regular brushing, but I did not find the grooming to be a big issue.
