No. But while no dog breed is completely hypoallergenic, Papillon tend to shed less than other breeds.
While Papillon are known for their gorgeous butterfly-like ears, all Papillon are born with their ears down. The ears may begin to stand up as early as a few weeks old, and can take up to four months to pop, though some ears never stand up. The original Papillon did not have raised ears, and those genes are still present today. Both erect- and drop-eared Papillon may be born in the same litter. The drop-eared variety is referred to as 'Phalène,' which means night moth.
Avoid shaving, taping, or otherwise attempting to influence the ears of a Papillon if they do not stand.
