 Dogs - Coton du Tulear Breed
The origin of the Coton du
Tulear is Madagascar
It is 10 to 12 inches tall, weighs and weighs 13-18 lbs.
The Coton de Tulear is a
relatively rare and relatively old pure breed, originating from
Madagascar.
This is a small white
companion dog with fluffy cotton like hair, hence the name "Coton."
Tulear is on the southwestern
coast of Madagascar (a port city).
The standard for the Coton de
Tulear was really developed early on, but was officially created in 1969.
It was submitted to the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in
1970. The FCI officially recognized the breed in February 1971.
By 1974, the first Cotons
were brought to North America, there has been a definite increase in
popularity of Cotons in both the United States and in Canada.
 Cotons come in three
different color varieties: White; Black-and-white; and Tri-color. A
Tri-color adult Coton is mostly white with pinkish patches and a faint
dusting of black hairs.
The Coton du Tulear has a
charming personality. This is great, because it means that Cotons
maintain a puppy-like disposition their whole lives.
In appearance, the Coton
looks somewhat like a child's stuffed animal toy. This is one of the
reason people love Cotons. They have been described as "Miniature
Old English Sheepdogs."
Cotons are intelligent,
devoted, eager to please, relatively easy to train, and sturdy. One nice
thing about Cotons are that they are an excellent companion for children,
and, generally speaking, Cotons gets along well with other dogs and cats.
The Coton will adapt to just about any lifestyle. Known as a bundle of joy
with the nickname: "the anti-stress dog."
Health Issues:
The Coton du Tulear breed is
healthy, vigorous, and, for a small dog, is relatively long-lived.
These dogs have an average life expectancy of about 16 years. According to
the Coton de Tulear Club of America, the North American population of
Cotons have no known genetic defects.
