Welcome aboard!

Please
 meet the
 magical and wonderful 
Rare Breed Coton de Tuléar



 
Our off-spring Cotons have very interesting and exciting lives!  Four puppies will be moving to Australia this summer 2013, one lives in Hong Kong, one is with the Vice President of NBC, one with the Secretary to the Speaker of the House in Hawaii, one puppy resides at a Buddhist Monastery in Hawaii, two are with an Venture Capitalist in Kauai, and another puppy lives in Washington.  Other Coton puppies have grown up to be mascots for an Art Gallery in Maui, Jewelry Store and a Plastic Company in Honolulu.  The Cotons are very lucky little munchkins that get to travel the world and bring happiness to all they meet.

We normally breed our Cotons in the Fall and Winter on the Big Island of Hawaii. 
 

One of the owners just wrote us saying, "There is no other dogs except the Coton."  We do love all animals, but admit the Cotons are a very special breed. 


Cotons love all seasons and climates,  

from romping across a grassy field, 

(       
to nuzzling the freshly fallen snow...

Cotons are happy where ever they go!

 
We are pleased to introduce you to the Rare Coton de Tuléar purebred dog whose ancestry began in the Port of Tulear, Madagasgar.  Legend has it that the dogs swam ashore from a sinking pirate ship and mated with the Tennifer in the Port of Tulear, Madagasgar.  The Madagasgar Royalty fell in love with this sturdy small rare breed and declared that only Royalty could own them.  The French came to the Port and adored their beauty, intelligence and spunky personalities, happily nicknamed them "Petit Marionette".   The name 'Coton' is French for cotton which describes their
medium- to long-hair, fluffy, cotton-like coat that is hair rather than fur.  Since they are a non-shedding breed with low dander they are hypoallergenic and is one of the best breeds for people with allergies.

My husband and I are the first to breed Coton dogs on the Big Island of Hawaii.  In fact, we are the only Coton de Tulear breeders in the Hawaiian Islands.  

It takes approximately 10 months to have a puppy sent from the Mainland to Hawaii.  The process is very comprehensive and extremely costly.  This is due to Hawaii's "Rabies Free" quarantine regulations.  Incidentlally, traveling with your dog back to the Mainland from Hawaii is very easy.  Here is your chance to bond with a Coton puppy of your own.  To buy a registered puppy from us, feel free to call or email for more information.

Our goal is to continue the happy and healthy lineage of the Coton de Tuléar.  Our Cotons have been OFA tested for heart and patellas, eyes CERFed by an Opthalmologist.  They blood panels every two years, including their thyroid and have had all their vaccinations up-to-date .




We are Code of Ethics Breeders (COE) with the American Coton Club.  We only sell our potentially show/breeding quality puppies to members of a legitimate Coton de Tulear Registry Club not affiliated with AKC.  To learn more about the Coton de Tulear, please click on the icon below:
