Phalène

Origin: Belgium

Also known as: Phalene

The Épagneul Nain Continental or Continental Toy Spaniel is a Belgian and French breed of dog of spaniel type and of miniature or toy size. It has two sub-types, distinguished only by the shape and carriage of their ears: those of the Papillon ('butterfly') are erect, while those of the Phalène ('moth') are pendent; in all other respects they are identical.
