#12. "Cheerful, friendly, intelligent this little dog is comical to watch."
#13. "This delightful bugger is curious and self-assured."
#14. "Bold and lively; compact and robust, they love to explore."
#15. "It has a casual appearance, but is always alert."
#16. "Loves to dig and is an escape artist."
#17. "They are generally good with other dogs, but should not be trusted with non-canine pets, however can get along with cats."
#18. "The PBGV is intelligent and can be trained for many purposes."
#19. "It also has a great desire to please."
#20. "They are good with children and are fairly friendly with strangers."
#21. "A bored or lonely PBGV will make his own 'entertainment'. Giving your dog daily long pack walks, proper human to canine communication, along with a variety of toys and things to chew on, a safe environment and eliminating the opportunity to be destructive will control this potential problem."
#22. "The use of a crate not only provides this safety, but it also becomes his own special place."

#26. "Will do okay in an apartment if sufficiently exercised. They are very active indoors and prefer cooler weather, but will do ok in warmer weather. This is one breed that should not be allowed to be off lead. The hunting instinct is too strong. All that is needed is one small scent and your hunter will be off on the chase. Having a secure fenced in yard is a very good idea. The PBGV like to dig and can be great escape artists. Watch for small holes and/or signs of interest along the fence line. He would as soon go under as he would to go over."
#27. "They need to be taken on a daily walk. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. If under- exercised, this breed can become restless and destructive."
#28. "Life Expectancy: About 14 or more years."
#29. "Litter Size: 4 - 6 puppies ~ Average 5."

#16. "Good with cats when they are socialized with them."
#17. "They can also be difficult to housebreak, but are in general easy to train otherwise."
#18. "Since most people who own small dogs, because of their size, unknowingly allow them to run the show, they are not generally recommended for young children. However, if you are your dog's firm, consistent pack leader, providing rules he must follow and limits to what he is and is not allowed to do, along with daily pack walks, the Papillon can be very trustworthy with children."
#19. "They will be calm if sufficiently exercised."
#20. "Height: Dogs 8-11 inches (20-28cm)
Bitches 8-11 inches (20-28cm)."
#21. "Weight: Dogs 8-10 pounds (4-5kg.)
Bitches 7-9 pounds (3-4kg)."
#22. "Although they can be good city dogs, they are sometimes not good apartment dogs, because the dog has a strong instinct to protect their property, and many will bark excessively at nearby noises, not making the distinction between casual noises and those worthy of a real alarm."

#24. "Life Expectancy: Some as long as 16 years."
