Coton de Tulear
Temperament
Charming, Bright, Happy-go-lucky
[3]Background and classification
A small companion from Madagascar, it spread in France after recognition in 1970. Its name highlights the distinctive cotton-like coat.
[1]Appearance and coat
A small long-coated dog has round dark eyes and a cotton-like texture. Its coat differs in texture and volume from silky-haired white companion breeds.
[1]Coat and comparisons
White is the ground colour; slight light grey or red roan on the ears is permitted. Elsewhere these shades must preserve the overall white appearance, making subtle ear colour a useful observation.
