Papillons and long-haired Chihuahuas look a little alike. However, the papillon has plenty of long, fringed hair on its ears, which makes the eavesdroppers appear butterfly-shaped. His tail is also hairier.
The Papillon is up to 28 cm larger than a Chihuahua and often heavier at 2.5 – 5 kg. His character is friendly and energetic. They are suitable for beginners and are considered easy to maneuver. The Papillon has always been a companion dog and makes an excellent family dog.
Please do not decide based on appearance alone, but familiarize yourself with the requirements, special features, and character of the respective breed. Are there any special problems (sensitive stomach, hunting instinct, behavior) or diseases within the breed? Which breed suits you and your lifestyle better?
