    		Papillon: Breed of toy dog known from the 16th century, when it was called a dwarf spaniel. A favorite of Marie-Antoinette, it appeared in paintings by Old Masters. It acquired its name (French for "butterfly") in the late 19th century, when a variety with large, flaring ears became fashionable. Another variety has drooping ears. A slender, graceful dog with a plumed tail, it stands 11 in. (28 cm) or less and weighs up to 11 lbs (5 kg). The soft, full coat is usually white, with darker patches. http://www.answers.com/papillon

    Zbeck, I didn't know this myself until became an adoptive Mommy of two Papillons myself almost 9 years ago. They are quite wonderful pets...best dogs I've ever had! Unfortunetly their life span is only 10-12 years...I'm hoping mine are around much longer...they still act like puppies...very active and playful!
