Small breed dogs have many advantages: they are usually harmless, cheerful until old age, do not take up much space, and are much easier to care for than large dogs. In addition, with small dogs the issue of walking is not so pressing: if necessary, they can go to the litter box, but a giant St. Bernard or Rottweiler will have to be taken outside in any weather. And if we are talking about a miniature female animal, then affection can be added to all the advantages, since usually the character of females, in comparison with males, is calmer, more accommodating and kinder towards people and other pets living in the house. If you have definitely decided to buy a small girl dog, then the most pressing question is probably what to name this little one. Let's try to think of a name together.

Selection rules
When choosing a sonorous and beautiful nickname for a dog, experienced breeders recommend taking into account several general rules. They will allow you to narrow the search for a suitable name and weed out unsuitable options.
It is generally accepted that a good nickname should be:
- easy and convenient to pronounce;
- one- or two-syllable;
- corresponding to the breed and sex of the pet.
Observations show that dogs quickly remember short nicknames that contain voiced consonants (in particular, “r”, “m”, “n”).
It is advisable that the nickname consist of 1-2 syllables. However, given the good memory of small breed dogs, it is not forbidden to call them by longer names. Some owners of decorative dogs give their pets rather complex nicknames, consisting of two words, which the animals successfully remember.
Usually, observant owners do not have any difficulties choosing a beautiful dog name. The breed of the animal helps some owners to suggest the most suitable option, others – its exterior and external features, and others – its temperament and habits.
People who are not devoid of originality and a sense of humor, in search of a beautiful nickname for their pet, often resort to rather unexpected options. The sources of ideas for them are usually the most extraordinary topics, which include personal interests and hobbies, professional interests, favorite films, music, and literature.
One of the advantages in choosing a nickname for a small breed female puppy is that these animals can be given names in a diminutive form. Lapulya, Businka or Masunya are unlikely to suit a formidable shepherd dog or husky , then they will come in handy for decorative dogs.
For ethical reasons, it is not recommended to give pets common human names. In the future, when walking with the dog in crowded places and calling it loudly to come to you, the owner may find himself in an awkward situation. For the same reason, you should not name your pet after friends, relatives, neighbors or colleagues.

Care
Caring for a Papillon is a little more difficult than other breeds, but not much more.
His coat needs to be brushed at least three times a week, and during active shedding, brushing should be done daily.
bathe your Papillon as needed; you can use shampoo intended for humans. The only condition is that the shampoo must be thoroughly rinsed off, otherwise the dog’s fur will become dull.
For overdried wool, a special cream should be used, but sparingly, otherwise the wool will become greasy and take on an unkempt appearance.
Regular monitoring of the cleanliness of the ears and teeth, as well as the condition of the claws, which need to be trimmed periodically, is necessary.
The Papillon is an energetic dog , so you need to provide him with the opportunity to have a good time. He enjoys doing this outdoors and will be very grateful for a morning and evening walk.
In terms of cleanliness, the Papillon is comparable to a cat, and it can also be trained to do its business in a designated place. This can be useful, especially if regular walking is not possible.
Papillons often have diseases as cataracts, entropion, corneal dystrophy and congenital deafness. To prevent this, you should be regularly examined by a veterinarian.
If surgical intervention is necessary, it must be taken into account that all Papillons do not tolerate any pain relief well.
