The Coton should not be nervous or aggressive around people or other dogs. From their human companions,  they will demand eye contact, and unlike other breeds they will not look away during a “stare down.”  Instead, a Coton will search your face to “read” your eyes and expressions in an attempt to determine what you want from them.

 

The Coton is an owner-centered dog with a heart that is only focused on ensuring you are pleased with them. They are comical listeners and can often be seen cocking their when spoken too. The Coton gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children.  They are a good travel companion and easily housebroken.  

 

Both affectionate and playful they are quick to shower you with kisses before snuggling down beside you for a good old-fashioned t.v. marathon. For the more active owner a Coton is still the right choice.

​

When its requested of them Cotons can seem to have an endless supply of energy, making them excellent agility competitors and a great running or walking buddy. Some of our puppies have even become kayakers and boating enthusiasts. 

​

Highly adaptable and long lived, the Coton will adjust to their owners lifestyle and needs. This includes living situation, they do not need a large yard or home because the last thing they want is space. Every Coton would be happy living in the passengers seat of an RV all their life, and we have known a couple that do!
