very cute, love the name, great prefix too.

i wont answer all the questions, pappylove did a pretty good job of that 1.What is my relationship with the breed? (ie breeder, first time owner etc) owned for about 4 years, yep im only new to paps, this is my first year as a breeder of papillons , i have owned and bred other breeds over the years 3. How common is it in Australia? not very common in my neck of the woods, i only know of one other person in my area with them, im sure there are more hidden away, most people dont know what they are, having said that very few people only ever have one , they are addictive 5. What is the general temperament/personality? i find them to be loving, loyal and generally outgoing, however like all breeds they can differ, i have one who was very timid as a pup, and i thought perhaps she hadnt been handled much, but she has never grown out of it 6. How much daily exercise is needed for the average adult? i dont "exercise" mine mainly due to the amount of unfenced dogs in my area, mine just have free run of the yard and i find this is enough for them, 7. Is it a breed that a first time dog owner could easily cope with? yes 8. Can solo dogs of this breed easily occupy themselves for long periods? yes, my boy was solo for the first 2 years and i didnt get the girls for him i got them for me 9. How much grooming is required? i bath them maybe once every month or 2 and a brush once a week , they hardly ever knot or matt 10. Is it too boisterous for very small children or for infirm people (unless the dog is well trained)? most people say they shouldnt be for small children , my kids are 4yo and 7yo and i find them fine however they have grown up with dogs, i wouldnt recommend them for children as a first time dog unless theyd have full supervision , and my only concern with the elderly is they tend to be under foot more often than not which can cause you to trip on them but no more or less than other breeds i think the nsw councils rule of not selling unmicrochipped puppies is bloody stupid, i dont think paps or any other small breed should have to go through that at around 6-8 weeks, id prefer they were done at 6 months when they are a bit bigger

Done thanks

can you add me please KEJO papillons

hi i have a great dane pup who is about 16 weeks old and have noticed in the last week he is becoming food aggresive, he will lay with his front legs on either side of his bowl and if anyone comes near his he tenses ready to snap, he lunged at my nearly 3 yo son this morning, he is an only dog atm so has no reason to be food aggresive as no one takes his food etc any suggestions? i have scolded him and put my hands and feet in his bowl to let him see im not gunna take it, he knows im the boss but im worried at 16 weeks he is nearly taller then my son already, and yes i did research the breed and new what i was in for when i got a dane, i can honestly say this is new to me i have always had dogs of many different breeds and have never had one with food issues

my 12wk old papillon humps everything and anything i have tried the squirty bottle, yelling, smacking does anyone out there know a way to stop him without desexing? its driving me insane
