Cotons love all seasons and climates.From romping across a grassy field,
Cotons are happy where ever they go!
We are pleased to introduce you to the Coton de Tuléar rare breed of dog whose ancestry began in the Port of Tulear, Madagasgar. The French fell in love with their beauty and spunky personalities, happily nicknamed them "Petit Marionette". The name 'Coton' is French for cotton which describes theirmedium- 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 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 if very easy. We spend our summers in Washington and winters in Hawaii.
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, CMR2 and Optigen tested. They have yearly blood panels including thyroid and have had all their vaccinations up-to-date and yearly wellness evaluations.
