SILENZIO TYPE

THAT PRETTY SILENZIO'S LOOK by Vesa Toivanen

I was so pleased that my article " The papillon type as i see it" was so much liked and shared.

Lets go little bit back on time and look this beautiful group of four typey Silenzio dogs from Sweden bred by Britt-Marie Hansson. Dog no.2 from the left is INT CH Silenzio' s Danny-Key (INT CH Silenzio's Colorado-Kid x Silenzio's Tizeron) and he is one of my ultimate favorite swedish papillons.

I remember more than 25 yrs ago when i was a young boy and i was showing a bit larger size papillon under wonderful and well respected legendary swedish all-breed judge Kalle Johansson and he said to me in swedish that "dom ska vara söta" - "they must look pretty". I have never forgot that talk and have always tried to remember this comment during my career in papillons.

So please do look this wonderful old photo from the 80' s and tell me if you agree with me about the being small and pretty ?
