PAPILLON — A graceful 
little toy spaniel, the Papil- 
Ion is so called because of 
its erect ears, which resemble 
the wings of a butterfly. 
There is also another variety, 
called the Epagneul Nain, 
which has drooping ears, but 
both are classed as Papillons. 
It was popular in France as 
early as 1545, and was also 
famous in Spain and Italy. The Papillon is hardy, lively and intelligent. 
It may be of any one pure color, may be white with patches of another 
color, or may be white with patches of two colors. The Papillon 
weighs from 5 to 8 pounds and stands 7 to 10 inches in height. 
CHIHUAHUA — This is a Mexican breed and can be traced back 
many centuries to the Techichi, the ancient breed of the Toltecs. The 
dog is very alert and intelligent. There 
are two kinds, the Smooth and the 
Long-haired. The Smooth has a short, 
soft, glossy coat. The Long-haired has 
fringed ears, legs, and tail, and hair of 
medium length on the body. The Chi¬ 
huahua may be of any color, and in 
weight varies from 1 to 6 pounds.
