Paperanian

The Paperanian, a hybrid mix of the Papillon and the Pomeranian, doesn't have much available history of the hybrid itself, so we'll have to use the histories of the parent breeds to get a picture of this hybrid canine.  The Papillon is a purebred canine who has a past which is unclear in regard to the approximate date of origin as well as anything concrete regarding the exact heritage of the breed.  One of the oldest toy spaniel breeds,  dogs resembling the Papillon have been seen depicted in artistic renderings from The Masters through the 13th and 15th centuries, with recorded history of the breed in Europe easily going back at least 700 years.  Seemingly developed purely for purposes of companionship (and lap-sitting), these artistic renderings predominately depicted the dog seated lovingly in the lap of a female member of the royalty, rich and famous.  It didn't always sport the characteristic "butterfly" erect and fringed ears but instead had dropped ears, becoming known as "Phalene" with the moniker of "Papillon" later being attached to the butterfly ear set (erect and fringed) version.  The now distinctly Papillon butterfly ear set has become its trademark, making it readily identifiable among canine breeds.  Germany and Poland are credited with the creation of the Pomeranian, going back to the Prussian region of Pomerania (now Germany and Poland), it's ancestors being ancient Spitz dogs who were used as sled dogs.  As one would expect, the Pomeranian was a much larger dog at that time, and weighing almost 30 pounds, they were also utilized for shepherding tasks.  The breed was not very well known until around 1870 when the Kennel Club (England) recognized them.  In 1888, Queen Victoria fell in love with them while visiting in France and brought them to England, where she and other royal, rich and famous became fanciers and promoters of the breed.  The American Kennel Club accepted the Pomeranian breed in 1888, giving them full registration in 1900.  The Paperanian hybrid is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club, Designer Dogs Kennel Club, Designer Breed Registry, Dog Registry of America, Inc. and International Designer Canine Registry.
