It’s an exciting moment when you begin to imagine that a Coton de Tulear may be the perfect dog to complete your family. Cotons are deeply social companions who thrive on being close to their people. Whether you are enjoying a quiet afternoon at home, working in the yard on a breezy day, or taking a spontaneous family trip to the lake, your Coton will be happiest right in the middle of it all—sharing each moment by your side.

​

   Before meeting your future puppy, there are a few things we would like you to know about our small family of furry companions. At Catawba Cotons, breeding is both a responsibility and a passion. Our goal is not simply to place puppies, but to thoughtfully match each puppy with the home where it will flourish for a lifetime. For this reason, while a family may initially feel drawn to a particular puppy, we may occasionally recommend another whose temperament and personality are better suited to that household’s lifestyle. These decisions are always made with the long-term happiness of both our puppies and their families in mind.

 

   Our commitment to every Catawba Coton extends far beyond the day a puppy leaves our home. If life circumstances ever change and you are no longer able to care for your dog, a Catawba Coton is always welcome to return to us—at any time, for any reason. Responsible breeders stand behind their dogs for life, and we remain a trusted resource for guidance, support, and care throughout your dog’s lifetime.

 

   Many of our dogs come from distinguished champion bloodlines, and our focus remains on preserving the health, temperament, and integrity of this remarkable breed for generations to come. Because we focus on quality over quantity, only a limited number of Catawba Cotons are available each year. Waitlist requests are fulfilled via deposit, contact us for details when you're ready to bring your Catawba Coton puppy home.
