Description
Appearance
Some registrars with different standards describe Coton de Tulear, but generally have very soft hair (contrary to feathers), comparable to cotton balls (hence the name in French, coton meaning cotton), a prominent black nose, large expressive eyes (usually covered by bangs), and rather short legs. The tail of Coton de Tulear must be curved on its back.
Coat and color
The Coton de TulÃÆ'Â © ar has a long, hairy cotton coat, which is considered a hair rather than a feather. This is a non-shedding breed with low feathers. When a puppy, he can take off his dog's coat. Like the poodle or Havanese, this breed has a very low allergic effect. Dull hair should be removed by brushing and scrubbing every day. Caring for Coton de Tulear can be very difficult. This breed does not have a common "dog smell" and, when bathed and well cared for, has a slight odor.
The Coton de Tulear comes in three accepted colors: white (sometimes with a tan sign; all white is preferred by the breeder of the event); black and white; and tricolor. However, tan and white can be wholly white, blacks will often fade to gray or white, and the feathers will most likely change throughout the puppy's time. This breed even has a faded gene that causes the color, which is very dark when the puppy, fades and whites at the base of the hair when elongated; that is why the Champagne or Champagne Teddy Bear Coton finally turns white when the adult hair appears.) The FÃÆ' Â © dation Standard of Cynologique Internationale specifies that Coton coat should be white, but may also have a brown or "lemon" color on their ears and bodies. The coat, however, should be primarily white with no black hair. The US-based Coton de Tulear Club of America allows for three different but equally beneficial colors: white, black-and-white, and tri-color, which includes "sun bears". White is depicted almost all white, sometimes with brown or champagne in the ear, face or back. Black and white are defined as pure white with black spots protruding on the head and body (no specified or preferred white-to-white ratio). Tri-color is described as mostly white with some brown marks and black dust on the body and head. Tri-colored honey bear has light brown with black tip which gradually fades into white or lemon color. Tri-color loses most of the color from every color varieties, usually being mostly white with perhaps some sign of champagne and black hair dust on the ear and/or body.
Size
The FÃÆ' Â © dation Standard Cynologique Internationale gives Coton weight as 6 to 8 kg (13 to 18 pounds) for men and 3.5-5 kg ​​(7.7 to 11.0 lb) for women. Coton height (including tolerance) is 25 to 30 cm (9.8 to 11.8 inches) for men and 22 to 27 cm (8.7 to 10.6 inches) for women.
However, the Coton de Tulear Club of America standard weighs no more than 18 pounds (8.2 kg), with an average of between 11 to 15 pounds (5.0 to 6.8 kg). The standard altitude is 9 to 13 inches (23 to 33 cm), except for the rare Tall Tallon, which is 15 to 17 inches (38 to 43 cm). Tall Tall Coton long appears in all three varieties of color and can be born into the garbage with normal-sized parents carrying the appropriate genes.
Detailed description
His nose is black in standard Coton de Tulear Club of America. However, the Fondation Cynologique Internationale standard, which also supports black noses, states that chocolate can also be tolerated. Pink or partial pink nose is not accepted in both standards. The standard supports that lips should be tight and colored the same as the nose, especially black in standard Coton de Tulear Club of America. Coton de Tulear teeth can be a scissor bite or a pincer bite. His eyes are usually round, dark, and wide. Traditionally, his expression is vivid, intelligent, bright, and joyful. Typically, the ear of Coton de Tulear is triangular and high. The skin of the ear is often thin, and the neck is strong, favored without dew, and slightly curved.

Cares
The Coton has a mantle that requires brushing and combing almost every day and bathing once a week to keep its beauty. Cotons love to swim; the owners who own the pool are advised to let their coton play in the pool with supervision. Like poodles, they do not "spill", which means they do not drop hair on furniture, carpets, etc. They lose hair; the texture of their coats causes the shaved hair trapped inside the mantle. If not brushed and combed every day, the feathers of this breed will quickly rise and may need to be shaved. Coton children need to walk every day to exercise, but will appreciate the play session as often as possible, and have the resilience to make the long journey. Cotons love playing with other dogs and they are great with the kids.
Health
The Cotons are generally healthy breed. However, there are still some health problems because they exist in all breeds. The most serious problems are heart problems, liver disorders, back problems (discs), and eye problems. Fortunately, this is still relatively rare in breeds. The small gene pool of this breed is due to its extinction. Due to inbreeding by bad breeders there is an increased incidence of disease. The smaller the gene pool, the more likely it is that the breed has a genetic disorder.
The Coton de Tulear has some health problems compared to many other breeds because it becomes rather generic. This is a rare and recently accepted and acknowledged type by AKC in 2012. The fact that this is a revived offspring from extinction means that Coton de Tulear is a bit expensive to buy and the price can be as high as $ 1,800.00- $ 3,500 per dog. The average lifespan of a Coton de Tulear is 14 to 19 years.
History
The Coton de Tulear was developed on the island of Madagascar and is still the island's national dog. It is believed that Tenerife dogs were brought to Madagascar and mated with a dog on the island, creating unexpected results. Coton's ancestors were probably taken to Madagascar in the 16th and 17th centuries on a pirate ship. Madagascar is a haven for pirates and pirate graves can still be seen there. Pirates set up base on St. Island Mary, Madagascar and some of them took the Malagasy wife. Either the dog was taken to control the rat on the ship, as a friend for a long cruise, or seized from another ship as booty, no one knows. Tulear is a port that is now also known as Toliara. The Coton is a type of Bichon dog, closely related to the Bichon Tenerife and Tenerife Terrier. There are many stories circulating about the history of Coton in recent years, most of them are not true. The Coton de Tulear is never wild in Madagascar. It does not hunt wild boars or crocodiles, because its size, strength, and behavior can disprove easily. It is the companion dog of Merina (the ruling tribe) in Madagascar. It has very few prey drives and not a hunting dog.
The Coton de Tulear was first officially recognized as a descendent by Societe Centrale Canine (French national kennel club) in 1970 and accepted by the FÃÆ' Â © dation Cynologique Internationale, which published the breed standard in 1972. The Coton de TulÃÆ'Â ar is recognized internationally through the FÃÆ' Â © dation Cynologique Internationale and by major kennel clubs (The Kennel Club (UK) in Toy Group, and United Kennel Club (USA) in the Supervisory Group), using standards based on Standard Cynologique Internationale Praise. This breed is not recognized by the Kennel Club of New Zealand or the Australian Kennel Union. It can also be recognized in the English-speaking world by one of a large number of small registration dogs, clubs, and internet dog-based registry businesses.
In the United States, another standard for Coton de Tulear was developed based on a breed in Madagascar in 1974 by a biologist, Dr. Robert Jay Russell. Russell founded the Coton de Tulear Club of America in 1976 and opposed the recognition of the American Kennel Club. The Coton de Tulear entered the American Stock Kennel Foundation Service (their first step in breed recognition) in 1996, and became a fully recognized breed on July 1, 2014. The American Kennel Club Parent Club for this breed is the United States. Coton de Tulear Club.
