Parnassian

Although primarily a British breed, trading of eggs between France and Britain in the past means that there are some Parnassians in France.

Appearance
Parnassians are a Heavyweight breed - although some individuals may, rarely, fall on the large side of the Middleweight classification - described as having cream and black colouration. They are said to have strong paws and powerful claws.

As many butterflies in the Parnassius genus have black and white wings with red or gold markings, it is possible that the Parnassian dragon also shares these markings.
