As you can see him pictured in the previous post: the winner of this years Crufts in Europe.
Until a few years ago, one would hardly see a Phalene in the USA, or at a US Dog Show.
But the interest level is rising remarkably.
It is not easy to preserve the Phalene, because of confusing genetics.
For instance: Mom and Dad Phalene will not necessarily produce a Phalene litter.
Drop ear dogs can show up in a pair of erect ear (Papillon)parents.
It is difficult to find a show quality Phalene, the gene pool is limited, unreliable and unpredictable.
