I have owned 4 Papillons over the last 30 years and loved them all dearly. I have never seen a video that more accurately describes them than this. This video perfectly nails the small print. “They are smart BUT you have to find their motivation to train them”. All the points you made are dead on to mine.
Have my boy 16 years, never had potty training or barking issues. He has all his teeth as well. Dentist was amazed. My boy had been raised by 4 large cats. Great breed! Excellent in training for service dogs, too. I have seen them work well with Border Collies in herding. Brilliant doggos.
Nice ...... Our papillon is almost 16 we love him so much he is amazing and a little spoiled he is slowing down a little I couldn't imagine my life without him
I have 2 papillons, curiously never bark, very active, I take them to the fenced park and run like crazy. Very smart and very obedient . I cannot think of having other breed. So lovely.
This breed sounds exactly like me as a person and I can’t imagine a better breed for me. I mean I got dental problems (soft teeth), long curly hair that requires a lot of care (my hair even looks similar to a papillon, I’m yappy, I’m energetic, I’m sassy, I am not a physical affection person, and I’m a big person on human contact and socialization. Oh yeah and I’m smart as hell
Picking up Papillon number 3 on the weekend. I have had 10 dogs over my lifetime and the Papillon has been the best breed yet. Glad you included Percy footage.
I have a Papillon, Ive had him for about 5 months and this video is brilliant. Its my dog to a tee! Trying to teach him tricks but he gets distracted a lot and we dont get anywhere even with treats. He's funny, intelligent, loves being around me and yes, he yaps a lot! Has to be out in the garden checking out the neighbourhood!
8:32 - turning it into a "pampering session" - lol omg - nope - brushing my Papillon is like a whole game.... the brush is the enemy.... this said, I don't have to do this any where near as this video would suggest. Yes the knots happen behind the ears sometimes, and the clumps are usually sorted with a pair of scissors. And even when he has jumped in a dam or rolled in mud - most of it just falls off naturally once it dries, and what doesn't is sorted with a quick shower and a bit of a brush. I have found him incredibly low maintenance to be honest. gosh i love the little guy - and so smart.
So amazingly accurate!!! I have a dachshund-pap mix who looks like an elongated papillon. He's not like a dachshund at all - everything on here applies except he's strangely silent and only barks at the doorbell. We have definitely noticed he's more like the cat than like the dachshunds we're used to. Also, we tried to just let him out in the yard to do his business which has worked well for all of our dachshunds, but found out pretty quickly that he needs at least two walks a day, one of them for at least a mile or two (we got him from a rescue, and his previous owner said that he couldn't handle her being away 12-13 hours/day, and "was a handful". No. He just needs activity and human interaction!
at 16 year old, bad cognitives, my butterfly loves to stop to watch the world on the walk and try to register what she can. she can still learn new things ! Papillon is a smart cookie!
Our Papillon cross was a smart little guy and even though he was a senior when we adopted him. He could still run like the wind. He was protective and even grabbed a skunk by the throat on the front porch one night. I taught him to “talk” (little growls) for his food, but he’d bark when I said, “Ok” to get in the last word. When we visited my daughter’s family he even snapped at her Pitbull cross when she wanted to play with him. He loved sleeping in my lap under an afghan in the Winter. Really miss that little guy, Reddy.
My almost 15 year old Papillon hits so many of your points. 1. Super energetic (did agility for fun when he was young) and would go on 5 mile walks with me 2. is still the neighborhood watch dog, barking at any car, leaf, squirrel, or person invading his territory, which is our entire street 3. Is a velcro dog who wants to be near me all the time, but not a lap dog at all. Next to me, not on me. 4. Super intelligent, but only follows commands when he wants to, as he is... 5. Stubborn as all hell 6. Dental is great, even though he's never let me brush his teeth. He gets a dental done every year now, used to be every 2 years when he was younger, and still has all his teeth. 7. Housetraining was actually pretty quick, though he was 4 months old when i got him. I taught him to ring bells on a shoelace hung from the doorknob and he picked it up super fast. Unfortunately, so did my mom's half Maine Coon cat, who would not stop ringing the bells at my moms house in the middle of the night, so she only puts them out now when my dog and I are visiting. I do agree they are great dogs, just do the research so you know what you might be in for. This is a great video to show the pros and cons of the breed.
My grandparents just got one last week because their old poodle died. She's 13 and when I pet sat her she was quiet and made a nest out of my jacket. She apparently barks when my grandpa is working outside. She's reserved, not yet comfortable enough to sit on your lap, but very friendly. She's well behaved on her leash, even my cousin's 2 year old daughter can walk her with no trouble. So just give her some time and Angel will be a happy member of the family.
just don't name your Pap Gizmo. you WILL get a gremlin! loved that little gremlin & miss her. Also, our cat decided Gizmo was HER baby. She trained the dog to use the litter box. Great solution for winter.
My Papillon is the best dog i have ever had. I am in my 70s have done dog showing with 2 different breeds. This dog is smart, loves to please me, cuddles and is sporty. what more could you want from a dog. He is all around the best of the best. I have had malamutes, shelties, cavaliers, collie, to name a few. This Papillon is all of then rolled into 11 pounds. Yes you will have hair near you on you and on your floors, i would never give that up He is the best. I went through a confirmation show breeder to get the best of the best.
I have 2 papillons 11 years and 5 years old. The older one is an agility champion the younger is getting close! So we practice, go to class, and competitions. We also play with other dogs and walk off leash in the forest, they are very high energy!
i can definitely relate. im active, but not much of a cuddlebug. but ill gladly anounce loudly when i hear something outside or when i want something of my owner XD. i get exited when i see other dogs, love running, even next to a bike. And yes i do have an aditude 😆
My papillon is 14.5 years old. He’s slowed down but still loves to chase his squeaky toys. He doesn’t have very many teeth but he’s a happy. I’m going to be one very sad human when he goes over the rainbow bridge . I’d have another in a second, but I’m thinking maybe a short haired dog might be better for my lifestyle. I just don’t want to think about it to much.
Petronella my Phalene Pappillon she’s so very clever but doesn’t bark much but gets me off the sofas for a walks used to be owned by a French Queen who had her head chopped off 😱
Do they get on with cats? I’m looking at adopting a 2 yr old Pap but have a shy 8 yr old cat - she loves me but hides from strangers. Will it chase & torment her? I’m envisioning her never coming out from under the bed again 😅
Our Papillon likes to “herd” our cat like a collie herds sheep. She will walk alongside the cat when she gets off the sofa and makes the cat walk where the Papillon wants her to go.
Don’t agree with the ‘people pleaser’ thing. It’s a trait that the Papillon does have and shares with the Border Collie, which is one of the reasons they excel at agility and have been bred to border collies to create the ‘BorderPap’ for sports
One of my grooming tutorial videos is in the grooming section. I was never contacted about my video being used nor was I credited. Please stop stealing other people's content.
Sorry I don't agree with this video, my Papillion was easy to train,tricks,etc, and was already potty trained when I got him at 10 weeks old, if you're thinking about getting one of these dogs you won't be disappointed.
My Papillon was not easy to train... used 2 years to teach him sit, and 2 more years to teach him to lay down... I always say about my Papillon that he does not behave like a Papillon and mostly behave like his stupid. His smart enough that when other people want to make him sit he wont sit cuz he know they dont have a treat, so if have no treat that he likes (only chicken) he wont do sit or lay down. Sadly ever since he were 1 years old he been a very picky eater, he was often under weight refused to eat, castration (when he were 2 years old) helped him to eat better and stay normal weight, he is still a very picky eater he only eat chicken, treats must be chicken and soft treat (he does not eat something tough treat that most people use), and he refuse to eat the brand "royal canin" no idea why, so he eats only expensive quality chicken kibbles. First Papillon I had (that I dont have today) did shred so much but was very easy to train tricks and everything, sadly she was afraid of everything ever since she was small puppy no idea why, like she was afraid of dogs that is bigger than her, other humans specially children, she were a 1 human bond kinda dog afraid of everyone else that dog trainers could not train on her to make her better about what she is afraid of. I had best bond with my first Papillon since she was a very calm lap dog with her issues but i loved her personality the most. The Papillon I have today is just very expensive since he only eat his expensive food, not easy to train, his personality is full of energy and wants attention all day and will make alot noise if its just 1 sec dont give him attention. He will run away if he see other humans or dogs cuz he loves everyone tried to train him to not run away but whatever do he wont listen, he know the call back and he does it successfully inside but outside he will run away if see other dogs or humans. Positive is that he loves everyone and try to make friends with everyone cats too, even though cat hiss at him he still want to become friends with them, he does shred so little that i dont notice any shred from him even brushing its so little.
My mom had a Papillon and she wasnt anything like this video except for not being a people pleaser or mentally stimulated. She certainly wasn't intelligent. She did have very soft tan and white fur.

Can you recommend where to get a pap?
@DonnaleeCress-bg9gg my boy, was bred in Belgium. I would check with private breeders.
Is your Papillon like this too? Let me know in the comments below! 👇
I have 2 papillons, curiously never bark, very active, I take them to the fenced park and run like crazy. Very smart and very obedient . I cannot think of having other breed. So lovely.
At 4 minutes and 22 seconds you see Max the Papillon puppy. That's my dog! And he still loves playing with his ball!

My Papillon seldom barks. The only time she did was when the downstairs appartment was on fire. Then she barked like she was crazy.
Good dog!
same with mine, only to communicate needs
Thanks for this video, I'm getting one from the shelter pretty soon, but I've only ever taken care of cats.
Same! But they seem to share a lot of (stubborn lol) feline qualities

Some UA-cam videos just repeat the same played out nonsense over and over. As a long time Papillon owner, this video is SPOT ON lol.

Our papillon is VERY busy! 😄 But we do not let him outsmart us! 😂
Where was this 5 years ago?! I was not told any of this before I got my dog!😂🤣

I think the papillon is the border collie miniature ? It’s the same caractere behavior but in a small body is it right ?
Good info here .. Appreciated.
The information and clips were taken from other channels.
@@papillontrickdogs Title " "Things No One Tells You About Owning a Papillon" have info from other channels... I love it.
To each his own. I call it theft.
just don't name your Pap Gizmo. you WILL get a gremlin! loved that little gremlin & miss her. Also, our cat decided Gizmo was HER baby. She trained the dog to use the litter box. Great solution for winter.
They love a pack. Mine doesn't want to go for a walk without both me and my husband.
I lost my Papillion last year he was 13 and he was not yappy at all. Best companion I ever had

I’m a new Papillon owner. My darling dog, Cricket only barks when the doorbell rings or a strange person or animal is near. She’s a darling.

My boy isn’t super yappy but does bark when someone is there. Can’t blame him from doing his job though 😂 super super smart and active!
They can be fierce. Very protective. Similar to Yorkies
like with all breeds, that could be with the up bringing too, i.e. how the dog was trained and exposed to socialization ...
Do they shed?
yes

I agree my little man is almost 16 I actually cry when I think of loosing him he means so much to me
Same here. 15 years now. I love my hairy little child ❤
Petronella my Phalene Pappillon she’s so very clever but doesn’t bark much but gets me off the sofas for a walks used to be owned by a French Queen who had her head chopped off 😱
They are descended from royalty and not shy about letting you know it!
far far better than other Papillion vids because you didn't show chihuahuas and other breeds as Paps
Do they get on with cats? I’m looking at adopting a 2 yr old Pap but have a shy 8 yr old cat - she loves me but hides from strangers. Will it chase & torment her? I’m envisioning her never coming out from under the bed again 😅
My daughter moved in with her 2 cats for a few months. I have a papillion who was 7 at the time. She never looked twice at those cats.

You should probably google "fair use doctrine"

my Papillon never bites or destroys any of my things or clothes,he understands what belongs to me and what belongs to him,
My papillon only cuddles if he has a toy to chew on
Wow sell papillon
I don’t think this person actually has a papillon
My mom had a Papillon and she wasnt anything like this video except for not being a people pleaser or mentally stimulated. She certainly wasn't intelligent. She did have very soft tan and white fur.
I have a papillion and she’s getting g old. 😢 I don’t want her to go
mine is 16 , how old is yours ? 3 vets think it's time and i think she will live til 21!
My papillon died today😢
RIP 😥
