Finian - Papillon

About Me: Papillons were bred for the French royalty and some of us still have that royalty gene! When I'm not busy running our household, I take agility classes at Pawsitive Partners Dog Training Center and Obedience classes at Smart Canine. Mom got me to be a show dog and I did pretty well for awhile. I liked the being admired part, but I wasn't too keen on the whole work part of showing. Then she discovered obedience. I played along for awhile and actually got my Companion Dog Title. Then for the next level, they expected me to go and retrieve a dumbbell. As if?! Royalty has people to go and retrieve things for them! After finally convincing her that I'm not going to do obedience, mom found agility. Now agility I like. It's so much to run and jump. I've been running in agility for 4 years now and I have novice titles in AKC and TDAA.
