Is this Breed for you?
A Papillon or Phalene, since they are the same breed , needs a lot of attention and affection.
It is recommended not to get this breed, if you already know, that you do not have enough time for him.
To say it in other words, you might want to look into another breed, if you have a full time job, and are gone most of the day.
Unless you find him a compatible playmate (perhaps 2 Papis, or a Phalene and a Papillon).But if you leave him all day by himself, alone, the outcome will not be good. This little dog will not thrive in loneliness. He may withdraw, and even remain shy around his owner, in his entire life time.
