Peters' Coton Tails

Welcome to my Coton de Tulear site.

If you have suggestions or questions I can answer, please communicate them to me via email.

We are a small family operated group. We are a family of five and many other unusual pets. We raise coton de Tulear exclusively as far as canines go. The cotons are all from registered championship lines. Our dogs are presently registered with the Canine Federation of Canada. I am a member of the Canadian Kennel Club and Canine Federation of Canada. We strive to produce healthy companions that are not inbred, have superb temperaments and meet FCI standards. These companions give your ego a boost when you need it and lift your spirit with their comical antics.

To enhance the coton's innate immune system, health, and longevity, our dogs are fed a "bones and raw food" diet with extra supplements of vitamins and essential oils. They enjoy treats of raw bones and organic kibbles (Innova EVO). As members of the family, they live in our home with us and have supervised access to our other pets without incident. They are accustomed to the hustle, bustle, and noise of our busy household.

They receive regular vet checkups, vaccinations, and are screened for eyes (eye certification exam or CERF annually), and orthopedic health as is age appropiate.

If you are considering adopting a coton into your family, I strongly encourage you to research the breed, clubs and other kennels internationally. There is a vast wealth of information available on the internet presented by various breeders and clubs as well as communicating directly to the many knowledgeable breeders.

Cotons are a rare breed of dog with exceptional qualities that make them superior companions hence their description the "anti-stress" and "anti-depression dogs". They are ideally suited to pet therapy for these reasons.
