any suggestions where to find a tall coton?

I'd love a coton to join our family, however my son & husband would like something a little bigger ... the tall coton would be ideal ... I know they are very rare, however do you have any suggestions as to where to start looking? (found a breeder but they are in the USA)

would you have any idea how early you could tell if they are going to be tall?

any help would be fantastic

with thanks
Sue

Thank you for the message, it's very kind of you to take the time.

However the problem is I am in the UK and I think it wouldn't be fair (and somewhat expensive) to fly a puppy that distance.

In Europe the Cotons are bred to be as white as possible and I haven't heard of a tall coton this side of the Atlantic.

We have in the mean-time adopted a Cavachon (cross between Cavalier & Bichon Frise) which are as close as I can find..(though he's rather short!)

Good luck with your fur-baby..
With Regards
Sue

Tall coton NEW
by: Eileen & Gary

The breeder we got our fur baby. Has had a tall cotton in last two liters. Check with Susan T Lake Superior Coton's. Probably won't have new puppies till next spring, she said she breeds only yearly. Ours was born July 3rd 2015. Delightful personality. Couldn't be happier. And it is our second Coton.

Hi Michelle

Thank you for your message, however we are in the UK and personally I don't think it would not be fair to transport a puppy (regardless of the cost!)

However since I put up our message we have found a little soul to join our family - a puppy that needed re-homing, not a Coton but a fluffy cross breed.. maybe by time we are ready for a second dog (shh don't tell my husband) there may be some over here.

Hope you are enjoying your dog as much as we are!
With Regards
SUE

Tall Coton... NEW
by: Michelle

We got our lovable tall Coton from http://thompsoncotons.com
last June. I don't think that breeders get much better than The Thompson family!!! The welcome each puppy into the world with love and work hard to prepare them for the new family. Our tall is 17-18 lbs and guessing he is approx 21 inches when sitting on hind legs (that is a guess based on crate height).

Hope that you consider talking to Thompsons as I know they will work with you to help you select a tall puppy :)

Cheers,
Michelle
