One of the points why the breed is so popular is the caracter of this breed.Typical coton de tulear has the most loveable, lively, faitfull caracter and he is a breed who doesn´t need to be trimmed - or shouldn´t be - and it belongs into toy breeds which makes that living in cities is much easier than a bigger companion.
What you must be carefull is the coat. It needs taking care in every week, and as a puppy and between the coats, more than once a week. When you see a full-coated coton, I must say IT IS A PLESURE to see a coton which is clean, brushed and happily acting

When you see a typical coton de tulear in act - you just can´t be ignoring him, you will fall in love with him...Some calls him "the clown of the doggy world" - and if you were in moody blues he´ll make it go away!
