papillons for sale, papillon dogs

Our Papillons at Home.

Our Papillons have their own heated and air conditioned room, attached to our Bedroom, with their private doggy-door and sleeping crates. Note the litter pan below the crates. We train all our dogs to use one. (see more about this in "Useful Info."

We use the larger crates for young puppies that can't "last" all night, with a litter pan in the crate.

The other side of the room has it's own small sink and refrigerator.. That is a dishwasher on the cabinet that's used for their food pans.

We have a big, fenced yard that allows the dogs to have lots of exercise. There are other areas beside this that are fenced for more room and to keep dogs apart when needed.

We call this picture "Not Lap Dogs." "Dog Fancy" magazine had an issue about the Papillon breed and one of the captions stated that these are not lap dogs. HUH??? That's what they were bred to do for the last 650 years! This is an unposed shot during one of our dog show trips when we had a 5th wheel trailer.

When we have puppies, they live in our kitchen for the first two or three months to get them used to people. We made a play tower out of scrap wood and they love it.

We use vinyl "shower pan" material that we buy at Home Depot to protect the floor. It is heavy and cleans easily.

We now use a motorhome and prefer it over the trailer. We removed a large sofa and installed a stack of crates. There is an "Ex-Pen" play area for puppies. We put a small litter pan there and they go into the brown crates to sleep at night.There is a door cut into the crates on the sides.
