Coton Tulear are small white dogs with fluffy cotton hair. Known for centuries in Tuléar, Madagascar it was taken to the USA in 1971 where it grew in popularity, more recently he was brought to Britain. The coton is an extremely rare, ancient purebred. They look like minature Old English sheep dogs with hair covering their eyes. In many ways similar to a Maltese with the wild look, the ears are set high and dropped forward. The Tuléar is a lively little dog that loves companionship. The coat is as it's name suggests, long, heavy and cottonlike 8 - 9 cms (3 - 3½") long. The coton sheds very little if at all and has no doggy odours, they are allergy friendly dogs but they do need grooming 4 times a week at least. They are called the anti stressdog. The coton has an incredibly sweet nature and thrives on human contact. They are hearty dogs that like the heat in summer, but also enjoy a frolic in the snow. The coton is strictly an indoor dog. The breed is extremely healthy, long lived about 16 years and up to now free from genetic defects.Probably the most outstanding characteristic of the coton is its behaviour. It is intelligent and very loving and loyal to its human family. The coton is alert, agile very very quick & lively companion, it also loves its food. Its very slow to anger. Most cotons seldom bark, although they will alert you if there is someone at the door. A coton usually snuggles on your lap or rests close by you. Cotons are calm, sturdy dogs most of whom enjoy the well-intentioned rough-housing of children and other house hold pets (other cats & dogs). Cotons do smile, they walk on their hind legs and are easily trained, it retains a puppy-like joy through out its life. When they aren't getting attention they are happy just to sleep. The cotons are a bundle of joy, which brings smiles laughter & complete devotion to its owners. The coton is a companion dog and will suit people of any age and it doesn't matter if you live in city town or countryside these little dogs can adapt.
Colour is white with slight yellowish markings on the ears
