Summary
About Papillon
The Papillon is a small, elegant toy dog with large butterfly-like ears, a fine, silky parti-coloured coat and a plumed tail. Lively, intelligent and highly trainable, it enjoys activity and mental stimulation, makes an alert watchdog, needs regular brushing, and often lives into the mid–late teens.
About Basset Fauve de Bretagne
Cheerful, energetic French scent hound with a low, sturdy build and rough golden‑red coat. Friendly and affectionate, good with children and dogs but strong prey drive. Intelligent yet independent; needs patient training, ample exercise, and regular but simple grooming.
