Cotons are
lively little dogs with
non-shedding,
hypo-allergenic,
soft "cotton-like" coat. They are ideal family companions because the
center of the Coton’s world is “their” human. A Coton will be your
little white shadow, hanging onto every word you say, occasionally
cocking their heads at your witticisms. Their captivating eyes appear to
be rimmed with black eye liner and their happy-go-lucky personality draws attention like a magnet. They are playful, affectionate
lap dogs, laughingly known as little kissing machines. Intelligent,
eager to please, Cotons are so smart; they will have “You” trained
before you know it. Averaging twelve pounds, the Coton is an agile,
muscular self-exerciser that stays fit well into their senior years.

The CotonCoton
is "a big dog in a little dog suit”, naturally sound,
sturdy, athletic and which bonds closely to their family
pack. A natural purebred evolving in the 14th Century, the
Coton was bred for companionship, is easy going and good
with good children. Deemed the "Anti-Stress Dog of the New
Millenium", Cotons are an excellent candidate for Therapy
work and the unique hair makes them suitable for most
allergy and asthma sufferers. A predominantly white dog,
puppies born with dark hair on the head, ears and body which
often washes out into silvers and champagnes by adulthood is
the Hallmark of the breed. Cotons excel in all areas with
people who understand a thinking dog's mind and strive to
develop a relationship with their canine soul mate.

The Coton de Tulear
is not a dog that one simply owns; it is a breed that captivates
everyone who meets it. They became prized possessions in France and as
excellent travelers, many were brought to Madagascar from Reunion and
elsewhere. The Coton de Tulear is extremely affectionate, friendly and
endearing. A jovial, delightful little breed, Cotons are a joy whether
as stay-at-home family companions or active in activities such as
conformation, agility, obedience, or therapy. The Coton loves to
compete and have fun with owners and we delight in showing them in All
Breed and Specialty shows throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. While
Cotons have an abundance of beautiful cottony coat they do not shed and
have no doggie odor!

health tests through OFA and certifies through CHIC. We also
ring test our dogs against the best of the best in shows
world-wide. We breed infrequently and selectively because
each pairing is special to provide a puppy for ourselves (or
one of our colleagues) in order to meet a goal for the
breed. We do not believe in filling the world with pets,
simply for the sake of supplying a market.
