How do they compare personality wise with a papillon?

I have a papillon, he’s my 2nd one, and he’s perfect in every way except I’d also like one twice his size. However, he’s already large for a papillon at 12.5lbs. The papillon personality however is *perfect* for me, they are very clownish and silly and also extremely affectionate. They have this happy demeanor that makes everyone smile.

I’m wondering if any Kooiker owners have spent somw time with papillons and could tell me how they compare temperament/personality wise? And energy level and trainability? How are they as hiking buddies? Papillons are highly intelligent and highly motivated so they are VERY easy to train and that’s another big factor for me.
