Thank you Gale for this site

I really like this website. My breeder is a good breeder and I have been very happy with our coton (he is 13 1/2 years old and we got him as a puppy), he has the best temperament and he is very handsome. But I have felt kind of lonely over the years with regard to being able to talk to others about cotons because my breeder does not want to do more than sell me a dog. But if I call her to ask her questions or want to just talk cotons, she does not want an ongoing thing where I call her and talk "cotons."


At this website which I found myself, I feel like I can share my experience and gain insights into questions I may have from other coton owners, the very thing I was looking to do with my breeder but she was not interested. Thank you Gale for developing this site. Have other people felt this way too, like they wanted to exchange coton information about this wonderful breed but only had their breeder or another breeder but all those breeders wanted to do was sell the dog?

My coton has remained my best dog friend over all these years and he always has time for me. These cotons are the best dogs in the world in my opinion.

Gale NEW
by: Vicky & Jonah

I have held onto this email for a long time. I have wanted to think of some witty & special thing to say. The only bad thing is I'm not witty.

When I brought Jonah home approx 5.5 yrs ago I found this site. I have enjoyed, learned, & appreciate the work that you Gale have done to bring us this site.

People, pictures & info r just wonderful. So even thou it's not witty it is very much appreciated & thank you from the bottom of my heart for dedication to this wonderful breed & all your hard work on this site for our Coton De Tulear' s.

Website NEW
by: Sharon

I came across my accident also. As a person who hadn't owned a dog in 24 years this site has really helped me and my pooch. I had never heard of a cotton (and neither has anyone I told people the breed of my dog). I check it most everyday. Good job Gale and woof woof! Happy New Year to all the pups and their owners!

Best Site Ever NEW
by: Pam and Lacey

I must agree as well. This website is so helpful. I to came across it by accident. And I am so glad I did. It is true Coton de Tulear breeders are not helpful. They do only want to sell you a puppy. I have run across that too. Thank you Gale for all you have done. Lacey and I really appreciate this website. Have a Happy New Year!

Right back at you NEW
by: Gale

Thanks everyone. A lot has changed since I started this site. Eight years ago I couldn't find any info on this breed and I was really frustrated. Things are slowly changing and now Cotons are more widely known (I guess there are pros and cons for that). But one thing that hasn't changed is sense of community and the generosity of those who share their knowledge, time, and love of the breed here. I am still learning so much. I feel like I know so many of you. Hope the new year is a very happy and healthy one.

Coton friends NEW
by: Iris

Happy New Year to our Coton friends! So glad we're all here to share and care.
I found out very early, that the breeder is a salesperson, and their merchandise is puppies. Sad, but true. I love my Tuffy Coton, and am so glad we all found this website and nice folks like Gale and Luc, her Coton.
Tuffy is my best friend, my boy, and also a mind reader. He is so exprssive, he actually can change the colors in his eyes to express different emotions, REALLY!.
Have a safe and sane new years eve.
love and blessings,
Iris and Tuffy

Thank you Gale NEW
by: sherry cotton candie

I totally agree with you Kathy. I also came across this by accident, as I did in seeing my first Coton at a dog show. Totally fell in love with these dogs and Cotton who is now 3 is just my life.

Its so nice to brag and ask questions with others who share our love for these dogs. I always have loved animals but these guys are like mindreaders and our babies.

Happy New Year Gale, Luc and all the Coton Family!

GALE AND LUC NEW
by: KATHY FROM PA

I agree that this website is the best for anything Coton...and Gale has done a wonderful job in getting it up and running smoothly. I came across this website by accident as I was looking for info on the Coton...I have learned (and still learning) so much about this loving breed. Some of the people who contribute to it also feel like old lost friends..
So many people have no idea what a Coton de Tulear is, and when I tell them, they look at me like I have ten heads........so, I explain!!
So let me add my thanks to you, Gale, for your continued work in keeping the information coming..
Happy New Year to you and Luc, the cutie that he is and to all our Coton Family. Kathy and Triscuit.
