The Coton de Tulear is the official dog of Madagascar and is a sociable, friendly and affectionate little dog who is also great with children when properly handled. It loves its owners and wants to be an active part of their life. They get along with other pets. The Coton is very vocal with grunts and other enchanting little noises when playing. It is an active breed that enjoys exercise and can perform in agility. The Coton will often walk on its back legs to please its owner. It also fits into a family routine as long as it gets a daily stroll. This breed sheds very little and is good for allergy sufferers.

Book Suggestions


We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.

If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
