I am in love with my Coton-de-Tulear, Gracie. She is 6 yrs. old and such a great dog. Always faithful, loving and loves to be near us. I know a lot of dogs may be like that, but she is special.
Her hair is soft like cotton but it can be one of the more challenging parts of this breed-they need to be brushed often, but I usually keep her in a shorter cut. My family has allergies and she is a dog no one is allergic to, doesn't shed and just sweet.
Can you tell I love my Coton?
I understand those blank stares when people ask what kind of dog and you tell them. Many think they're so smart and know already (they usually guess Maltese), but these dogs are not yippy and are great with kids.
