When it comes to butterflies, we have a lot of beautiful words to describe, such as beautiful, charming, light, agile, and so on. The name of the butterfly dog is because of the fur ornaments on its erect ears, which are as agile as butterflies when moving. In addition, the butterfly dog has a beautiful appearance and a petite body, so it is deeply loved by people.
As a noble and elegant companion dog, it is named after its large ears that resemble butterflies. The butterfly dog, which originated in France, was once the favorite dog of the noble ladies of the Bourbon court. During his reign, Louis XIV, known as the "Sun King", made the Kingdom of France the most powerful country in Europe at that time, and made French the lingua franca of european diplomacy and high society for two centuries. The name of the butterfly dog is derived from the French butterfly (papillon), although the dog is also called the butterfly ear dog or babylonian dog, but the romantic Nature of the French, very vividly for its name, so far all over the world, is recognized by people who like butterfly dogs.
Those iconic big ears
The Butterfly Dog was originally a droop-eared dog, but was later modified to become a standing ear. Due to the diverse colors of the head, the symmetry of the left and right, and the two ears that resemble the wings of a butterfly, its entire head resembles a beautiful flower butterfly. It is petite, with hair on all fours, and its tail hair is drooping like a feather ornament, which is very beautiful. Since it naturally moults between March and April every year, there is no need to trim the fluff.
Nice ornaments
The butterfly dog is very easy to approach and very intelligent, and its IQ is relatively high among small pet dogs, slightly inferior to the VIP, but it is smarter than Satsuma and the like.
Your ears are like dancing butterflies when you run
Like the origins of all dog breeds, butterflies were called pygmy beagles before the sixteenth century, also known as squirrel sandpipers, which are breeds of dogs that hunt mountain birds. Some people believe that the ancestor of the butterfly dog was a breed of sandpiper dog that was transmitted from China to Spain and later introduced to France through Spain. However, the butterfly dog was developed in France, and in the Louis era, the ear of the pygmy beagle gradually became upright, and then artificially bred to form a butterfly pet dog for viewing.
Butterfly dogs love the outdoors and are exclusive but very loyal to their owners. During the reign of King Louis XVI of France, the butterfly dog had become the favorite of the nobility. Queen Mary Antoinette, known for her extravagance and grandeur, the owner of the Heart of the Sea on the Titanic, once fed a butterfly dog and finally went to the execution ground with her master, and her loyalty is evident.
A generation of heroines and her loyal dogs
Beautiful and loyal butterfly dogs are especially liked by beautiful ladies, but in the feeding process, do not over-pamper, so as not to form a wayward habit. The Butterfly Dog is one of the longer-lived dogs, and if you consider feeding one, it will be a member of your family for many years to come.
