What an idyllic life this Coton de Tulear puppy has! The video was taken during one of her first few weeks with her new family. She even has a dog friend to play tug with. Watch how her parent introduced her to the bathtub gently, and wraps her in a towel to dry off.
This is one very happy dog. Actually, this is a trait of the Coton. They have happy days, and they have extraordinarily happy days, according to Lynn Hayner on Dogster. And why wouldn’t he be cheerful and joyful? He is the the beloved Royal Dog of Madagascar. And not just royalty. Barbara Streisand, Debra Messing, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Jane Fonda all share a fondness for the Coton de Tulear.
Traits of a Coton de Tulear
There are so many wonderful qualities about the Coton de Tulear. He always looks forward to fun activities. And even though he is an active dog, he doesn’t need strenuous exercise. He would be happy to live in an apartment, as long as you take him for a walk everyday. He is eager to greet you. In fact, a story shared in Lynn’s article says that one woman’s Coton would greet her even when she walks from one level of the house to the next. How is THAT for exuberance?
They play well with older children who respect them. And they are polite with other dogs. In terms of guard dogs, they bark to let you know there are visitors. But that’s pretty much it.
He loves to please you, and is very easy to train. In fact, Coton can excel in sports such as agility, obedience, freestyle, and rally. With a Coton, your life will never be bored. And you’ll have a cuddle buddy when you watch TV or when you are reading.
Since the Coton is small enough to bring with you on an airplane trip, please do so if possible because this is a dog that loves to be included. Well, if he greets you from one floor to the next, how would he feel about you being away for days?! You can read more about the Coton De Tulear here.
