History from geographer and the governor of Fort Dauphin, Madagascar in the year 1530: "there are quanities of dogs that are small, have long muzzles and short legs similar to foxes. A few of them are white. They have been engendered by dogs originating from France and have remained. Thay have short ears."
The standard of the Coton de Tulear was established in 1969 and submitted to the "Federation Cynologique Internationale" [FCI] in 1970 and it has been since February 1970 that the breed has been recognized by the FCI.
The FCI [ kennel club for all breeds and rare breeds ] is accepted around the world, but the United States is not a member of the FCI.
Another very important issue is that the Coton de Tulear is "not" accepted by the AKC, many breeders in the United States are supplying totally false information about the service that is offered to the Coton de Tulear and it is not a "registration", it is only a service to report the pedigree of the Coton puppy for a fee, you will not find a Coton de Tulear in the AKC show ring. Look up the FSS service for the Coton de Tulear on the offical site of the AKC. I recommend that you do some research before adopting a Coton.
We are not involved with a Coton de Tulear club, our Cotons at the time of importing from Europe had FCI registration and we in turn dual register them with the UKC and ARBA which offer services for breeds that are rare.
HISTORY OF THE COTON
The breed has been well known in Europe starting in the 1950's. As we mention before, there is little written about the breed, most information we have learned from Europeans and from one lady that was born and raised in France is now an American citizen. Portions of history here in the USA that tells of Americans discovering the Coton de Tulear on the island of Madagascar in the 1970's, but the facts point toward the history regarding the Europeans importing the dog into Europe as early as the 1950's. This importing began long before the stories of Americans discovering the breed in the 1970's, then with a limited number coming into the United States.
Today Europeans and those of FCI membership openly state they prefer the white and white with creme coats. The tri color Coton puppies at birth do eventually have fading of their coat, the only color that remains within the coat is black hair, which fades to a silver gray color or remains black. Additionally; the FCI does not have high regard for the very rare black and white Coton de Tulear. This does not mean that the tri color or the black and white Coton is not pure blooded or unable to be registered with the FCI, it is just a matter of choice. There are many FCI International Champions and Grand International Champions of Europe and other countries that are tri color Coton de Tulears, at birth. The process is very amazing. Actually the fading begins within the first few weeks of a puppies life.

Why is the Coton de Tulear expensive to adopt from breeders ?
Coton de Tulears breeders pay between $4,000.00-$7,000.00 for a Coton de Tulear puppy with show and breeding rights or just breeding rights. By the time you pay for shipping, documents, broker fees to handle the import, fees and other expenses you could easily have $10,000.00 invested in one Coton de Tulear puppy, if not more. All of this long before you know for sure that the puppy you have just adopted with show and breeding rights will be true to confirmation. At times Mother Nature can change the adult teeth and not have a perfect bite/alignment of the teeth, size, correct pigment that is needed in order to show and/or bred a Coton de Tulear. Then the breeder must start the process all over again. Not all things are guaranteed and 100% carved in stone. That is the journey of a breeder, some are grand and others can fail, that is the price you pay.
The gene pool is very limited with the Coton de Tulear, the last time I was informed by a judge in California, less than twenty pure blood lines are in the world, subsequently the breed is rare.
Cotons came from Europe and their homeland of Madagascar. Then in 1992 the exporting of the breed was stopped by the government of Madagascar, so breeders must depend on other breeders in Europe, Finland, Brazil and other countries.
All Cotons in the USA should have a direct link to Europe and or Madagascar, otherwise they are not pure Coton de Tulear. There are many mixed breeds that are presented as Cotons that are registered with kennel clubs that accept breeds and will give full registratioin based only with presenting a photo of a dog. This is not good for any breed of dog. That is how mixed breeds end up being presented as a Coton de Tulear and they could have zero genes of the Coton de Tulear.
Some health issues began to appear with the Coton de Tulears in the American lineages after the the Coton was mixed with Havanese, Bichon Frise, Maltese and even Yorkies. Europeans do health testing now becasue of the huge rise in health issues with the Coton with American breeders. Many people looking for a Coton de Tulear puppy want a list of tests preformed. The Europeans began the testing due to the demands of Americans. If lines would have remained pure the Coton would not be getting so much negative press. They are a very healthy breed but not when mix with other breeds.

Show/Breeding quality is expected with each puppy born to our adult Cotons. But Mother Nature does not work that way. Perfect parents do not always produce perfect show/breeding 100% true to confirmation of the breed with each puppy in a litter. On occasion we do allow adoptions with show/breeding rights. A "condition of sale" for show/breeding puppies. Pet/companion quality must be spayed or neutered. The parents can have perfect joints and hips, but an offspring can have issue that is just how nature works. All testing in the world can not guarantee joints with animals or human beings for that matter, sad to say some is related to small injuries, larger injuries, growth patterns, food served to a growing puppy, jumping on and off furniture and beds, then car seats and other issues, it is not alway genetic.
With many years hands on expereince in the show ring with Labs, agility and obedience as well we do have a good eye for a show/breeding quality puppy early on. It is all about the intense coat, pigment, size, height, walk -- what we call the "show ring roll of the rear end, plus the bounce in the step" and other very important aspects of the puppy. They just capture the eye as soon as they start maturing.
