The Papillon is a very old breed that dates back to the fourteenth century where they were know as the Continental Toy Spaniel. The Continental Toy Spaniel had typical Spaniel ears, (hanging down on the sides of their head). Papillons were popular with noblewomen of Western Europe. Madame Pompadour and Marie Antoinette both had Papillons as Pets. Today in the Louvre in Paris you will find a picture of Louis XIV with his children and their Papillon. In the United States the Papillon arrived close to the 19th Century where the erect eared has became more common.
