Hi Elaine, Papillons are another breed I am fascinated with, even went to their National a few years ago. I have numerous books on the breed (haven't read them in a couple of years though) and for the life of me can not remember seeing anything about them not being trimmed. I know the standard calls for a hare's foot shape which allows for tufts at the tips if desired. Is this something that is only in the Canadian standard?
