For more information about our t-cup and toy breed Breed Info: The history of the Papillon is traced through works of art. The earliest Toy Spaniels resembling the Papillon were originally found in Italy. Tiziano Vicelli painted these small dogs in many famous paintings including the Venus of Urbino in 1542. Other well known artists who featured them in paintings are Watteau, Gonzalez Coques, Fragonard and Mignard. In a painting after Largillierre in the Wallace Collection in London, a Papillon is clearly shown in a family portrait of Louis XIV. Papillons were also found in paintings of royal families across Europe, and in paintings of merchant class families. The breed was popular in England, France, and Belgium which are considered countries of origin by the FCI. The Papillon is still officially referred to as the Epagneul Nain Continental (ENC) in Non-English speaking countries. This dog was said to have been nicknamed Papillon, meaning "butterfly" in French, based on its impressively large, erect ears that resembled the wings of a butterfly. The Papillon has the appearance of a dainty toy breed, but many owners will claim that their Papillons are "big dogs in little dog suits." One aspect of the Papillon that has led many to believe the "big dog" assertion is this breed's surprising athletic ability. Perhaps people are surprised that in contrast to its staid and stately representation in the Old Master portraits, the Papillon is highly energetic and intelligent, ranking eighth in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs. Provided their genetic structure is sound and they are healthy, Papillons are built for movement, and most do not need any encouragement to apply their energy to athletic activities. |
