From MUTT to ROYALTY!

Pogo Relaxing

For 2 years since adopting my little "Pogo" I have been trying to figure out what breed of dog he was. I always knew he was special but I had 20 different people give me 20 different "ideas" of what they thought the breed of my dog was! After a while I just started saying that Pogo was a "Wee-cha-bicho-poo"

We decided to attend a local "Bichon Bash" picnic with over 50 Bichons and their owners, and was told by 3 people that Pogo was not a Bichon/Terrier mix, but a Coton de Tulear! So after some research I am convinced that he is no longer a "Mutt" but a "Royal" dog breed! I still love him just the same....

Me too! NEW
by: Steele Magnolia

I just took a dog in that a friend of a friend's son found. Whew. I was told he was a Silky Terrier but nothing on the websites fit his exact description so I assumed I had a Heinz 57 dog. Then last night I saw a picture of Debra Messings dog (the actress) and she has a Coton! I recognized that face and here I am :). I named my dog Stono after a river in Chas SC and he is adorable. I am having a difficult time with him and a leash and him not wanting to be left alone, but other than that, I could not have found a better dog :). I noticed that hair styles are different, Stono had been to the groomer before I got him so I am curious how it will grow out. Stono has a tan head with a black body, tan and black tail.

Well no matter what he is Pogo is very handsome & certainly looks like a Coton de Tulear. What a wonderful addition to your family.

He's a Coton! NEW
by: Joanie

I have had my beautiful girl Madison for 5 years now since we brought her home from the breeder and I can spot a Coton de Tulear a mile away! Your boy is a Coton! He is in the typical pose and has the traits. Not that there aren't many many gorgeous breeds out there, but you lucked out - you have a winner on your hands! Just adorable!

The only thing better than being owned by a Coton would be being owned by two! Just look at those precious faces.

they are a special breed and so silly. You will also notice the coat feels like cotton rather than fur
