Do Coton de Tulear owners need to be at home all day?

I am thinking of getting a Coton. I do work 8 hours out of the home. I have read on some sites that Cotons are for people that are home all day. Other sites state that if there is another dog they will do fine. What is everyone's opinion?

Coton de Tulear home alone?
by: Gale

I'd love to hear from others about this. I know from my experience, I have a full time job and haven't had any issues leaving Luc home alone.

He's never had issues with separation anxiety and
house training hasn't been an issue while I'm gone. I take hime out before I go to work and then leave newspaper on the floor in the bathroom (his room). He learned to use the paper right away.

Once in a while if I have to stay late at work I will have a friend or neighbor stop by and make sure he's okay.

I also have a cat that he is best friends with so he has company while I'm gone. If you don't have another pet, it's a good idea to leave lots of toys to keep him occupied. Really, most dogs just sleep all day so unless you work really long hours it should be ok.

I feel it's the quality of the time we spend with our animals that matters more than the quantity. Good luck and send in a photo when you get your puppy.
