Our family consists of myself, my wonderful husband, Ross, two mostly
grown up boys and a little pack of wonderful Cotons. We live on an
acreage just south of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We are small family Coton
de Tulear breeders with a focus on health, temperament and socialization.
Our dogs are full members of our family. Our goal is to raise happy,
healthy pups, in order to provide our customers with wonderful
companions, and help preserve this wonderful breed. Our dogs are raised
with the utmost of tender, loving care. I am a Code of Ethics Breeder with
the American Coton Club We do health testing on our breeding dogs prior
to breeding to ensure our dogs are the very best for breeding. We have
very diverse multi-national blood lines from only the most reputable
breeders.

We are firm believers in training classes. My interest has grown so much
that I decided to take a dog training course at the Animal Behavior College
and I am now an ABC certified dog trainer. Training gives an extra special
way to increase communication and strengthen the bond with your dog.
We do agility with most of our dogs, and we take various other courses as
well. It is a fun and educational outing. It also gives some one on one
time, which is important. I also believe in taking seminars, I attend all the
seminars I can in order to learn as much as possible.
When our circumstances changed, and we had the time to have a dog, I
researched many different breeds. My husband had never had the joy of
having a pet before, so I wanted to make sure the transition was smooth.
We were looking for a breed of dog that was small, sturdy,
hypo-allergenic, not nervous, who required some, but not an excessive
amount of exercise. We also wanted a lively, intelligent dog, but not a
hyperactive dog. That is when I came across the wonderful Coton de
Tulear. They were everything we had hoped for and more. They are
packed with personality. They are ever enthusiastic, and game for
anything. They are happy and exuberant, and an absolute joy to have
around. We laugh every day. The Coton is noted for their cheerfulness.
They have been dubbed the "anti-depression"dog of France. Cotons are
known for becoming very attached to their humans and are very
adaptable. This began my love affair with the Coton de Tulear.
The Cotons have so enriched our lives and brought us so much joy, they
became my passion! I decided to go into breeding. After much research, I
embarked on this wonderful journey. I wanted to make sure that my going
into breeding would be for the good of the breed. This has been an
exciting journey. Cotons are my total passion. I am a member of the
Canadian Kennel Club, the American Coton Club, and the CFC. I sincerely
hope you will experience the joy of adding a little Coton or two to your life.
Just be warned, Cotons are extremely addictive!
