Coton de Tulear

A wad of ... pampering!

This little ball of fluff, discovered to live in a pack on the sweet shores of Madagascar, not much is known about the origin, which remains mysterious.

A legend was born after the arrival of Coton in Europe, said that following the sinking of an ancient galleon some pet dog ladies hosted on board, or any of the dogs used to hunt the rats in the galley, have managed to reach the island Malagasy swimming and you have put the curtains.
The only certainty is that the Coton appeared in Madagascar and that natural selection has given us a small, rustic, lively strong and intelligent dog that can survive in such a hostile environment, an extraordinary little dog!

The Coton is in fact a small dog (about 26 cm at the withers), with dark eyes, lively and intelligent expression.
The name already reveals one of the main characteristics of the breed: a hair soft and fluffy as cotton, which, moreover, does not give off bad smell and has not moulting.
The health of coton usually no surprises. Durable and resistant has little need of veterinary, except for the calls of vaccinations and teeth cleaning.

The most eye-catching of this breed is the character, among other things important in a pet dog.
It 'an ideal companion for the whole family: lively, spirited, cheerful, active and playful. Never hysterical or shrill barks little, it is wise and balanced since a puppy.
He loves being in the company and "contact" with humans: if you move from one desk to another in the same room the coton moves to crouch close to the foot.
Flexible and versatile is suitable for agility, pet therapy, dance, or just as a companion for long walks or a swim in the sea.
He gets along with cats and other animals.

In the end, however, it still features the wild live in packs.
For the Coton hierarchy within a larger group is sacred and must be respected, otherwise it loses "brackets".
Knows how to hunt mice better than a cat and inexplicably at dusk, it has the ability to move, it begins to run in circles, faster and faster .... some say that it is a legacy of its wildlife in Madagascar when he tried to escape the alligators gathered or small animals. There are those who had the surprise of being together all the dwarf rabbits in the garden with this system, as a proud nose and looked nice the owner seeking approval!

The Coton de Tulear is part of section 1 of the Club Cani Compagnia. Breeders Club members submit their subjects of expertise Judges and rigorous clinical veterinarians who provide health, protecting the interests of more and more fans and admirers who come to this wonderful breed.
