決める前に知っておくこと

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

Critical「大型犬」コンプレックス

パピヨンは体の大きさに不釣り合いな大胆さを持っています。はるかに大型の犬に挑戦し、保護されない場合は悲惨な結果を招くことがあります。これは本物の縄張り意識であり、「やっかいな吠え」ではありません。

Critical分離不安

これは何世紀にもわたって貴族のひざの上の犬として繁殖された「ベルクロ」犬種です。孤独をうまく耐えることができません。8時間以上外出する飼い主は、パピヨンが深刻な苦痛行動を示すことをしばしば発見します。

Challenge警戒吠え

無意味に吠えるわけではありませんが、警戒心の強い番犬です。配達トラック、玄関ベル、通行人の全てを告知します。壁が薄いアパートでは、これが賃貸契約上の問題になることがあります。

Criticalハンドリング不耐性

頑丈なゴールデン・レトリバーとは違い、パピヨンは乱暴に扱われることはできません。乱暴に扱われると素早く噛みつき、衝動制御が欠如している幼児がいる家庭には向いていません。
