  • Anneliese...

    The likelihood is that you have a Papillon mix puppy if this is the coloration of his coat. Pure bred Papillons are parti-colored or tri-colored. That means white with an additional color (or two additional colors as in a tri), with a balance between the white and the "color(s)" or a greater amount of white, and the way the colors are presented are identified in various terms.

    Just a bunch of stuff related to standards. The bottom line is, do you love this puppy? Then all that stuff above doesn't matter one bit!

  • It's possible but highly unlikely. Papillons are bred to have distinctive markings that, along with the ears, help give the impression of a butterfly. No Papillon that was bred by an ethical, reputable, caring breeder would look as you have described.

  • I don't think so but I'm not positive that they can't be. I've seen plenty black & white but not really one that was mostly black.

    *edit*

    That puppy looks extremely young. Unless you own the mother, that puppy should not be with you. It needs to be with its mother for another 3-4 weeks!

  • This can be possible but diffidently very unlikely it could also be a mixed breed depending on it's parents so could be possible

  • It's unlikely but probably possible. It's more likely that they are mixes, though.

  • not any papillon that's bred right... who cares where he's black and where he's white as long as he's a lovable happy pap :)
