The Papshund is a cross between the Papillon and the Dachshund. These dogs have inherited the butterfly-like ears of its Papillon parent and the long body of its Dachshund parent. They need plenty of activity and exercise as they have high energy levels. This is a very emotional and sensitive breed and requires gentle treatment. The Papshund makes for a lovely companion, but should never be left out in the open alone as they tend to wander off. They do not like cold temperature and do better during warm climatic conditions and can adapt to the lifestyle of town as well as the country. Their life expectancy is between 13-16 years.
