The name Papillon sounds very pleasant, so many people think Papillon dogs are gentle and kind, but when we actually come into contact with Papillon dogs, we often find them very fierce. In fact, the reason Papillon dogs easily give off a tough vibe mainly relates to their genetics and personality traits. Below, the editor will analyze this in detail for everyone.

Unlike other dogs, Papillon dogs are a very ancient pet dog breed, and initially only royal nobility were qualified to raise them. Therefore, Papillon dogs carry a noble temperament in their genes. Because of this temperament, Papillon dogs are very tough; even when facing a very powerful dog, they will not be afraid but will directly pounce to duel.

Additionally, Papillon dogs being fierce is also related to their own personality. Papillon dogs are very alert dogs; once they detect something wrong, they will immediately make a warning gesture. Therefore, if strangers try to touch a Papillon dog, the dog will be very indifferent and maintain constant vigilance. However, Papillon dogs are very gentle when interacting with their owners, making them very suitable as family pets.

Although Papillon dogs are aggressive, they also have a mischievous side. Sometimes when you feel a Papillon dog is fierce, it is actually trying to attract your attention deliberately. The biting you think is real is actually just playful biting. However, it is important that owners never joke about biting. Whenever you notice similar behavior, you must genuinely be stern and let the Papillon know it cannot bite people, even if it’s a pretend fierce bite.

As a highly intelligent dog breed, Papillon dogs are extremely loyal to their owners but also quite possessive. Therefore, when they see their owner playing with other dogs, they can get “jealous” and adopt a fierce posture to threaten the other dogs. At this time, owners need to be careful not to blame the Papillon for not understanding its nature, but instead provide timely comfort.
