Good Coton de Tulear breeders are concerned about the future welfare of their puppies. Request to see the mother and/or father of the litter. Is their temperament one that would fit your life style? If so, the puppy will probably be a good pet. A good breeder will ask you, the prospective buyer, about fencing, training, prior pets and more. The breeder will supply a pedigree, registration application, guarantee and medical records, as well as information about the breed and their dogs. Be sure to ask about a sales contract, it will be beneficial to the buyer(s), seller(s) and the Coton.
An excellent place to meet Coton breeders is Dog shows. If the exhibitor doesn't have puppies, they'll be likely to put you in contact with someone who does. A contentious breeder will sell to a pet shop or a broker. A breeder will give you lifetime support and knowledgeable advice.
Coton De Tulears - Rescues
A rescue Coton is not just "a cheap way to get a Coton." True, Coton puppies are not inexpensive, and Rescue Cotons can be obtained for a very low initial cost (in most cases, about plus shipping). But all Rescue Cotons require special attention. Most are middle or old aged (e.g., about 10 years old; Cotons live, on average, more than 15 years). Some may have a continuing need for medication. Most will need tender loving care to adapt to their new home. Many Cotons will require leash and house training. Coton De Tulears - Breeders Links
