The Papillon (French pronunciation: ​, French for 'butterfly'), also called the Continental Toy Spaniel, is a breed of dog, of the spaniel type. One of the oldest of the toy spaniels, it derives its name from its characteristic butterfly-like look of the long and fringed hair on the ears. A Papillon with dropped ears is called a Phalene, which translates to moth in French. Additionally, they can be at risk for progressive retinal atrophy, intervertebral disk disease, and allergies.
