also Papillons are AWESOME dogs. They're tiny but they're spunky and intelligent and active and responsive in a very similar way to collies. It's just physically easier to cope with a teeny dog. I wouldn't have to walk as far, I could play fetch with little small balls that wouldn't hurt to throw, I wouldn't get my wrists, back and shoulders sprained every time a squirrel ran in front of me. All that stuff.
