I learned the lesson that some new dog owners learn when I bought my first dog. I had had childhood dogs, but I was ready for a small housedog that I could care for all on my own. After being in such a hurry to get one, I visited a pet store and found a cute litte fur-ball. I had done some research on the kind of dog I wanted, but this particular weekend I ended up buying a dog from a breed I knew nothing about. A papillon.
The pet store employees gave me a lot of misleading information, I guess to make sure they would make the sale. I was told that he would shed one time, then never again, wrong. I was told he had already been neutered (he was about 8 weeks when i bought him), that also was untrue. He was the last of his liter so I'm sure he was the runt. I have went through a lot with this dog, but I love him because he is worth the trouble.
I wonder though if he is really a full bred papillon or if he is mixed. I have his papers from the pet store, and where he was bred, but he has not turned out to look like the butterfly dog he was supposed to. If anyone owns a papillon or knows more about the breed and can give me more information please do. Look at the pictures and judge for yourself. The help will be appreciated!
