The Papillon (French pronunciation: ​, French for 'butterfly'), also called the Continental Toy Spaniel, is a breed of dog, of the spaniel type. A Papillon with dropped ears is called a Phalene, which translates to moth in French. Papillons are very intelligent and self-assured dogs that have a very easy time learning new tricks. Papillons may also be very playful and affectionate. The most iconic aspect of Papillons are their ears, which are large and well fringed, giving them a butterfly wing-like appearance. Papillons are particolored or white with patches of any color.
