| Coat color of the Papillon is a
subject that is discussed, debated and mentioned again and again by
Papillon and Phalene breeders. This is one subject that we all
agree that we don't agree on. The coat color has many
interpretations by the individual owners. This page is to help
people understand what color their dog may be or to help someone
figure out what AKC register able color they should use on the AKC
portion of the Papillon individual registration. |

AKC
Papillon Standard that reference coat color |
COLOR
-
Always parti-color, white with patches
of any color. On the head color other than white must cover both ears,
back and front, and extend without interruption from the ears over both
eyes. A clearly defined white blaze and noseband are preferred to a
solidly marked head. Symmetry of facial markings is desirable. The size,
shape, placement or absence of patches on the body are without importance.
Papillons maybe any parti-color, provided nose, eye rims and lips are
well-pigmented black. Among the colors there is no preference.
The following faults shall be
severely penalized. (1) Nose not black. (2) Color other than white not
covering both ears, back and front, or not extending from the ears over
both eyes. A slight extension of the white collar onto the base of the
ears or a few white hairs interspersed among the color, shall not be
penalized provid- ed the butterfly appearance is not sacrificed.
Disqualification - An all white dog
or a dog with no white.
