So, I have a question ....
Is there different "types" of Papillons, as in different lines and looks, etc?
Because they are definitely a breed still on my "to do" list if you will (lol) but I have a very specific look that I prefer. I know personality comes before looks but I'm not going to lie, if I'm getting a dog from a breeder, I'd want it to be aesthetically pleasing to me.
I don't like really thick coats, or a lot of ear fringe. I also don't like a real tiny face if that makes sense (maybe I like a little longer muzzle too). I guess I am looking for a bit bigger of a Papillon (10-12lbs at least, preferably) - is that even possible when going through a breeder? Any one know of any breeders specifically that may have a bit larger dogs?
I was just looking some up on petfinder, and for example I really like the look of this dog, but not sure I'd ever be able to get something similar through a breeder.
I don't like the amount of fringe on this dog, even though it's gorgeous. I'm pretty sure it would drive me crazy and I'd want to cut it, LOL
And I wouldn't want a thick coat like this, it reminds me of a Pom.
I REALLY like the look of this dog (minus the ears)
