Breed History

Descended from continental toy spaniels that were popular in European courts for centuries, appearing in paintings by masters like Titian, Goya, and Rubens. The breed was refined in France and Belgium, with the original drop-eared variety (Phalène) later joined by the erect-eared 'butterfly' version (Papillon)
