You have a Ranger Model 140 shotgun and cannot find any info about it is there any adaptability with this weapon or is it a red-headed step child?

Ranger was a brand name used on firearms manufactured by Stevens and retailed by Sears Roebuck circa 1925 according to the list provided by Numrich Gun Parts. I can't find a cross reference for a model 140, but you might check a copy of The Standard Catalog of Firearms to see what Stevens model most resembles yours. If you need a value, go to any sporting goods store and find the least expensive shotgun that is most similar to yours and figure 1/2 to 3/4 of its price.

Is papillon a famous dog breed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, i would say they are kind've famous. The History of the Papillon is traced through works of art. The earliest toy spaniels resembling the Papillon are found in Italy. Tiziano Vicelli painted these small dogs in many famous paintings beginning around 1500[4] including the Venus of Urbino (1542). Other well known artists who included them in paintings are Watteau,[5] Gonzalez Coques, Fragonard, Paolo Veronese,[4] and Mignard.[4] In a painting after Largillierre in the Wallace Collection in London, a Papillon is clearly shown in a family portrait of Louis XIV. Papillons are also in paintings of royal families around Europe and paintings of merchant class families. The breed was popular in England, France, and Belgium, which are considered countries of origin by the FCI. The "Titian spaniels" and those portrayed by later artists through Mignard and his contemporaries had the drooping ears characteristic of today's Phalène; it was not until the end of the 19th century that the erect-eared appearance became fashionable[4] and gave the breed's modern name, Papillon, French for "butterfly". The Titian spaniels were also exclusively red-and-white in coloration,[4], in contrast to the many recognized colorations of today's Papillon. The Papillon is a highly athletic breed. This Papillon is demonstrating the breed's great speed in dog agility.

The Papillon's history and long association with royalty have led to many stories about the breed. Marie Antoinette is said to have walked to the guillotine clutching her small dog under her arm,[5] likely an apocryphal tale. However, tradition has it that Marie Antoinette's dog was a small spaniel that had been brought to the French court from Spain on the back of pack mules. According to the story, her pup was spared and cared for in a building in Paris still called the Papillon House. Marie Antoinette's dog was said to have descended from a very old drop-eared breed known as the Epagneul Nain Continental, or Continental Dwarf/Toy Spanielthat appeared in church frescos and paintings as early as the 13th century. The Papillon is still officially referred to as the Epagneul Nain Continental (ENC) in non-English-speaking countries.[6] The name Squirrel Spaniel also has been used, most likely referring to an earlier standard in which the tail set is described as "curling over the back as a squirrel's". One version of the history of the two varieties of ear shape in the ENC ("Papillon" to denote the erect ear and "Phalène" to denote the dropped ear) is that toward the end of the 19th century, breed fanciers bred a version of the spaniel whose ears stood up. This dog was said to have been nicknamed papillon based on the impressively large, erect ears that resembled the wings of a butterfly. The drop-eared variety of the breed came to be called the Phalène (which means "night moth"). Both types are still bred today and appear in the same litter. The Papillon variety is much more common, although recently the Phalène has undergone a resurgence in popularity.

Does a papillon puppy lose its fur?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes! Papillons go through a period around 4 months old...warmly referred to as the "puppy uglies". Your Papillon is just shedding his/her puppy fur to make way for the long silky fur of an adult. The adult coat will not come fully in until your dog reaches the age of 2-3 years.

Do they have teacup papillons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No.

There is NO such thing as a teacup in ANY breed. Some breeds have the subclasses of Standard, Miniature, and Toy (such as the Poodle). NONE of them, however, have the subclass of teacup.

Teacups, micro-minis, teddybears, dollfaces etc....do NOT exist in any breed.

Be extremely leery of ANY breeder who uses any of these terms when advertising their puppies for sale. Any breeder who uses these terms can easily be defined as a substandard breeder who uses these terms as a selling point; sick...sick..and sick.

Find yourself a reputable breeder before purchasing ANY dog (unless of course you are going to adopt from a shelter).

To make a long story short..NO...Teacup Papillons do not exist, just as Teacup Yorkies do NOT exist. Sometimes a breeder will have a smaller-than-the-standard Papillon. Normally, the smaller they are, the more money they sell for, which is ludicrous. Many times, the tinies suffer health problems due to their lack of a structurally sound body.

If you want a tiny dog...think about the dog's health first and foremost...not that silly purse you want to carry them around in.

Do toy poodles get along with papillons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the individuals. Papillons aren'texactlyknown for getting along well with other animals, but it can be done.

If you are introducing two dogs for the first time, it's best to start on neutral grounds, like a park neither dog has been too, so long as neither dog is leash reactive, and if all goes well, start introducing them in the home with slow steps.

What are the movements in Schumann Papillons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you look at Clara Schumann's edition of Papillons, it appears that Schumann did not provide titles for the movements. In his letters he indicates that he had definite programs in mind drawn from Jean Paul' literary novel "Flegeljahre" (Years of Indiscretion). A detailed discussion of the book and its relevance to Papillons is in "The philosophy & aesthetics of music" By Edward A. Lippman. See link below:

How much do papillion dogs weigh?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

a papillion should weigh 10-12 lbs full grown but it is okay if it is a little over as long as he/she is healthy. It also depends on the size of your papillion because this is accurate for the normal sized papillion (about 10 inches tall). My papillion was inbred and as a result is much bigger than he should be (20 lbs) but he is 14 inches tall so he is normal. If your veterinarian says the weight is normal for his/her size than you should be okay.
