Coton de Tulear Names
What's in a Name?

Cotton dah what? That’s the reaction I often receive when I tell someone that my dog is a Coton de Tulear. If you’re a Coton dog owner you’ve probably received the same reaction at one time or another.

The most common Coton de Tulear pronunciation is “Co tawn day too lee are” and they are often affectionately called Coton Dogs (or Cotton Dogs). The breed gets its name because of its unique cotton-like coat (coton is french for cotton) and because they originated from the city of Tulear in Madagascar.

I have also seen numerous misspellings such as Cotton de Tulear, Coton du Tulear, Coton de Tuleer, Coton di Tulear. Your puppy doesn’t care how you say it or how you spell it, since all they’ll hear is the name you give it and the tone of your voice.
