All my Papillons, except for small puppies, are kept as family members. They are
given off the leash walks weekly, nowadays they also play in the garden whenever they want.
Weekly I check their teeth, nails and coats. The coats are of excellent texture which
means that they rarely need bathing or combing. I keep close check of the lower fringing and
the coats free of seeds, that's about it. They get a bath when needed, otherwise the day
before a show. Then, of course, each dog is thoroughly cared for according to it's own
individual needs.
Indoors, when I work, the dogs sleep wherever they want. In the evening, while
watching TV, they all want a cuddle and hug. Young ones usually want to play and show off
their toys.
