The Papillon is a descendant of the Continental Toy Spaniel, and this breed probably dates back to the fourteenth century. The word 'spaniel' means 'dog of Spain', but it is very difficult to trace the Papillon's precise country of origin - it has been claimed by France and Belgium as well as Spain. The popular belief is that the breed originated in France, hence the French names 'Papillon' (butterfly) for the erect-eared variety, and 'Phalene' (moth) for the drop-eared variety. The history of the Continental Toy Spaniel, the Royal Toy Spaniel and the Papillon is virtually impossible to separate in the early years; all three toy dogs were bred as companion 'lap' dogs, and they were the favourites of the nobility, who could afford to breed dogs specifically to serve their leisure pursuits. As a result, hunting dogs were bred to serve the master of the household, and toy dogs were bred to be dainty, attractive and ornamental, with a faithful and loving temperament.
