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. |




| This is why we are called Columbia Gorge Cotons. We live mostly in Oregon on the Columbia River. These are a few kite boarders that visit our backyard, most everyday. Sometimes we bark at them cause we want to play too! |
