Though the breed is now new, it is still rare. The AKC does not recognize the Coton de Tulear dog. However, Cotons can be registered with the FCI, CKC, and the NZKC. According to the UKC standard, the Coton de Tulear should be about 10-11 inches in height. This figure is considered ideal. Males usually stand from 9 to 12.5 inches. Females are smaller, as a rule. Weight is about 8-13 pounds. Proportion is very important for a dog.

The tail is never docked. It is usually carried between the hocks. However, when a dog is on alert, the tail is carried over the back. The Coton de Tulear moves usually at the trot. The Coton de Tulear has small dark eyes with intelligent and alert expression.

Coton De Tulears - Alert

The Coton de Tulear is an intelligent dog. Nevertheless, it is likely to be mischievous if not properly trained. The dog is said to have a mind of its own and does not always obey the owner. The situation is aggravated by the fact that many owners overlook the importance of obedience training for this small dog. It will never do to forget that all dogs need obedience training no matter what the size is. Hence, Coton de Tulears should be trained from an early age.

Despite the wonderful qualities of the Coton de Tulear, it is, surely, not for everyone.

The breed's fluffy coat needs much grooming.

It should be done on a regular basis to avoid matted hairs.

Brushing should be very careful.

Dead hairs that are not removed in due time tend to mat or stick to clothes and furniture.
