📖 About the breed

Meet the Papillon

Named for the French word for 'butterfly' (papillon) due to their distinctive butterfly-wing ears, this toy spaniel was the favorite of French Renaissance queens. Marie Antoinette reportedly took her Papillon to the guillotine.

Papillons are tiny dogs with brilliant minds — they consistently rank in the top 10 most intelligent dog breeds and are common winners at toy-dog obedience trials.

Pick a name with French royal heritage that matches their aristocratic elegance.
