Product Description
Synopsis
Dating back to the 14th century, the origins of the Papillon can be traced to the courts of Europe where this friendly and intelligent breed was a favourite with the nobility. The authors provide good advice on all aspects of Papillon care & breeding.'
From the Inside Flap
The exquisitely dainty Papillon dates back to the 14th century, and was a favourite in the Royal Courts of Europe. They were owned by James the First of England and Phillip of Spain. Marie Antionette of France was so attached to her pet Papillons that she hid two of her favourite dogs under her skirts when she was taken to die at the guillotine. The breed, often known as the 'butterfly dog', is friendly and intelligent and has done well in Obedience and Agility competitions as well as in the show ring. The authors use their expert knowledge of the breed to trace its history and its development (including a section on the Phalene). Expert advice is given on all aspects of caring for a Papillon from choosing a puppy to diet, exercise and grooming. There is an indepth analysis of the Breed Standard and tips on exhibiting the Papillon in the show ring. For the specialist there is detailed information on breeding a litter, plus a fascinating chapter on Papillon!

excellent for beginners to the breed,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Papillon (Book of the Breed S) (Hardcover)
I was given this book to read by a breeder when I first showed interest in the breed. I thought it was excellent. When I got my first papillon, I used this book as a guide to ensure my pap got the best care I could give.

Nicely laid out book, slightly 1970 feel to it with black and white pics only. The history of the breed was very interesting, the getting ready for shows was a bit naff. Nice diagrams for grooming.Definitely aimed at the dog show brigade, but possibly the only decent book about the breed.

I am buying a second copy.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Papillon (Book of the Breed S) (Hardcover)
There are really very few current books on Papillons. I originally bought a copy of this book for my mother in England. She has a papillon and has found the book very useful. I am now about to buy a copy for myself. The authors are well established breeders and judges of papillons in the UK. They cover everything from grooming and care of a papillon to the history of the breed and even papillon collectables. The illustrations are good. The survey of the chief Papillon bloodlines in the UK and USA is not comprehensive (but if it was the book would have been far less easy to read). There is a singular lack of the generic dog information that marrs many other breed handbooks. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in papillons. It would be a good book for someone who is thinking of buying/adopting a papillon to read before deciding if this is the right dog for him/her.

This book is excellent, wish it had more on the life changes of this breed of dog, but on the whole, an excellent overview.
