We have four Coton de Tulear adults. One male and three females imported when they were puppies with show and breeding rights. Our Cotons are unrelated and we do not believe in mating relatives. Bloodlines are champion and international champions of Europe and other countries. The Cotons at the time of their arrival had FCI registration and all four of our Cotons at birth were tri color. Now as adults some of the color on their ears and a few touches along their spine are a light crème color. They have magnificent temperaments, coats, pigment, excellent health and of course confirmation of the breed standard. Currently our Cotons are multiple registry with the UKC, ARBA and CKC. We do not register with the AKC as the breed has not been accepted by the AKC. Cotons only have Foundation Stock Service, [ FSS ] the recording of the blood lines. Normally all births occur in our veterinarians office.

Our Cotons live in our home and puppies are raised in our bedroom with the Dam until the puppies are four weeks old. The next step we move the whelping box to a different room each day, so they are exposed to the normal daily sounds within the house hold. Resulting in a highly socialized Coton puppy.

Our home is located in west central Ohio near Dayton, Ohio and fifteen miles from Richmond, Indiana. We live on a small farm and our home is a cottage style Victorian built in the year 1900 and remains with many of the old architecture touches from that wonderful time period. The house has been in the family from the time it was built. Sadly it was a rental property for nearly thirty years. Recently we began a labor of love giving the cottage a wonderful face lift, making the decision to become Coton Cottage.

No kennels or dog runs at our home, as we feel and believe that our Coton companions are part of our family. Please serious inquires only. We are only interested in improving the Coton de Tulear breed according to FCI guidelines www.fci.be.

We are hobby breeders, with the goal to preserve the Coton de Tulear, striving toward the ideal standards of the breed.Adults are evaluated by a state licensed Veterinarian twice each year. We are on a mission for the long haul, not giving up on the breed even if interest in the breed becomes low. Adoption prices reflect the investment of the foundation stock --- reflecting high quality. As well we do not believe in mating relatives, as with humans these steps only produce genetic health issues. We do on occasion offer puppies with breeding rights, otherwise all of our Coton kids are adopted on a spay/neuter agreement, in the health agreement we issue with each puppy.

Please inquire for adoption with breeding rights, we are open to breeder inquires. We are asked often if we are "an ethical breeder" or "a Coton breeder of ethics". We would like to explain our position.

Ethics are defined in the morals, and the complete circle of ideals, behavior and honesty that a person has in their philosophy of life.We feel that being members or being associated with clubs/organizations within the United States designed solely for the Coton de Tulear is not the only source of a ethical, moral and professional breeders of Coton de Tulears. Morals, honesty, ideals is part of our daily life. We have professional certifications in HCAB [ Human-Companion Animal Bonding ] and AAT/AAA [ Animal Assisted Therapy & Animal Assisting Activities].
