New Glarus, Wisconsin, July 2013. This is Frankie, a Papillon pup from Columbus, Ohio. We met Frankie at the New Glarus Brewery. Shortly after our brewery stop, we ate a late lunch and took home that doggie bag.
UPDATE: Typo fixed. A commenter corrected my spelling of the dog breed. *Blushes.*

The Blonde loves those dogs.
They are wonderful dogs. Many Poodle breeders switch to Papillions at the end of their careers. Papillions are easier to groom, and they are just as smart and affectionate as Poodles. I've met many over the years, and they are uniformly sweet.
Favorite breed for my wife (who is blonde but is not The Blonde). But can they paddleboard?
Papillions, I mean. I know blondes can paddleboard.
Meade, I bet they could paddleboard. They have dainty, but sturdy, feet, and I suspect they would have great balance.
I am a Poodle lover, but this breed is remarkable. I have met quite a few over the years, and some day, we will have one. Named "Trinket."
"Trinket" must ring a bell with women as a dog name.
The Blonde wanted a second York to be called "Trinket", the first was Treasure.
Since our second had a white star on her forehead when we got her, she was "Quasar".
It's spelled "papillon".
Thanks; I will fix it. I appreciate the correction because typos make me crazy.
I know what you mean. There's a neighborhood near me that has roads named after species of butterfly, and one of the roads is named Papillion Way. It sets my teeth on edge every time I see the street sign.
I should know better because I studied the French language at some point. I'd be pretty pissed if somebody wrote "Puddle" instead of "Poodle."
Good thing I didn't linger on "Phalene."
