papillon dog

The Papillon dog is a petite, elegant toy breed renowned for its distinctive butterfly-like ears, from which it gets its name ("papillon" means "butterfly" in French). These dogs typically weigh around 4-5 kg and stand about 20-28 cm tall. They’re surprisingly agile and intelligent, excelling at obedience and agility training. Expect a lifespan of roughly 12-16 years. Common issues include dental problems and patellar luxation, so regular vet check-ups are a must. New Papillons in Australia generally start around $2000 AUD, with used or rescue options cheaper on Tradingpost or PuppyList. Consult official breed standards for more details.
