Reputable breeders make sure they breed Papillons from top quality that will look like a Papillons should look when its an adult. All puppies are cute but what about when they grow up that's why its so important not to buy on price alone.. My puppies will cost more due to the quality they are. Papillons

Breeders You should always purchase your puppy from a reputable breeder the breeder should be happy to have you come by. The condition of the breeders home and the area in which the puppies are raised can tell you alot about the breeder and the potential health of the puppies. The enviorment in which the puppies stay in the breeders home it should be clean with no signs of sickness such as bloodly diarrhea, vomiting, offensive urine odor. Adults should be healthy and well socialized and living inside the breeders home and NOT raised in kennels (cages) out back. All puppies should be raised INSIDE the breeders home NOT IN A KENNEL by themselves. Puppies need lots of human contact and exposed to sight and sounds, so they are not with drawn shy, scared or hard to house train. When visiting the female of the pups she may not look very attractive as pregancies often causes the female to shed her coat refered to as (blown coat) It will appear very thin and short but will grow back in about 5 months. These days you will not see pedigree well bred dogs for sale in pet shops, flea markets or news papers. Reputable breeders will always be there to help you out to answer any question you may have. A reputable breeder is one who breeds as closely as possible to the breed standards-that means it looks like a Papillon or Chihuahua suppose to look when it matures(and not some poorly bred looking something they call a Papillon or Chihuahua) but also that it is sound in body and temperament with correct conformation. If you want a Papillon or Chihuahua, you dont won't to find when it matures it looks nothing like a Papillon or Chihuahua, or that it is of poor temperament, poor structure or many health problems (defects). Thats why choosing a reputable breeder is so important. A reputable breeder will always welcome you to come in there home and have a look around and will always provide you with their veterinarian's number. Even though buying from a reputable breeder you will pay more up front but, at least you will know you are buying a healthy well taken care of puppy, that will bring you many, many years of happiness :)
