Are Papillons good with kids?

Yes, Papillons are good with kids when their pet parents properly socialize and train them. However, their small size and delicate build make them more suitable for families with older children who are taught to handle and interact with them gently and respectfully. Young children might unintentionally injure Papillons by playing too rough or mishandling them.

Supervision is essential to ensure that interactions between Papillons and children are safe and positive. Teaching children how to properly approach and handle dogs is also crucial to ensure positive experiences for both the dog and the child, as is teaching dogs how to interact gently with children.
