A Coton de Tulear is a small, cheerful companion with a soft coat and a big heart. Before you bring one home, it helps to know what you are getting into. The breed is gentle and loving, but the coat needs regular care and the dog wants to be with its people most of the day.
This section is here to make the search easier. Below you will find the pages that matter most when you are choosing a breeder or looking for an older dog.

Take your time. A Coton can live well into its teens, so the choice you make now is a long friendship. Ask questions, visit the breeder, meet the parents if you can, and trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is.
