Welcome to our site!
Our breed is  Coton de Tulear (
pronounced  "coe-TAWN day TULE-ee-r) our
ancestors were brought to the United States in 1974 from Madagascar by
Dr. Jay Russell.  Today, there are 2 standards of Coton de Tulear:
Malagasy and European, we are considered Malagasy.

European Coton's are a few pounds lighter and mostly all white, with a
brown or black nose.

But happily we are Malagasy Cotons, we are a very diverse group and
embrace all colors: White, Tricolor and Black & White.  Some of us are
small and some of us a little bigger, but not too big.  If we are a Tricolor
we will be born with some color; white, brown and black.  But our color will
fade as we get older, some of us will fade all the way to white and some of
us keep a little bit around our ears and face.  A black and white is the
rarest of colors and doesn't fade as much, but the black on the face will
usually turn silver or gray over time.

Our human parents are Jaycee & Debbie Newman, they are proudly CTCA
code of ethics breeders; the only club just for Malagasy Cotons.
We live in both Oregon and Arizona. So, we travel alot.
