The CTCA's Coton Book and News Magazine make GREAT reading!

Want to get a Coton? Avoid problems and start off right! Get the OFFICIAL 1,100-page CD ROM book (the 132-page chapter on the Basics is worth the price of the book alone!). It is simply the most informative breed book ever written! There's more than 300 pages devoted to Coton health in this book and hundreds of the most beautiful, entertaining dog pictures. Learn why this breed is the MADAGASCAR Coton de Tulear and that many dogs today being sold as Cotons (some with fancy papers) are NOT Cotons but mixtures of Maltese, Bichon Frises, Havanese and even Poodles! Don't get ripped off by fancy-sounding foreign dogs. Consider acquiring a real, original Madagascar pure-bred Coton instead!

V. ETHICS, Forms and Health Tests:

How To Register Your Coton -- The Coton de Tulear Club of America Pedigree and Registration Certificate are the standard by which other registries are judged. Make sure your puppy can be registered with the CTCA BEFORE you buy it. ONLY a CTCA Code of Ethics Breeder can register a pup they whelped with the CTCA. New Forms (for Breeders only) and Requirements for HEALTH TESTING your Potentially Breedable Coton before the CTCA can reclassify it to BREEDABLE status.

The Code of Ethics -- The CTCA's Code of Ethics is famous throughout the dog fancy. It is the strictest set of rules governing the treatment of Cotons available anywhere. The CTCA's Code of Ethics is aimed at preserving the breed and protecting individual Cotons through empowering and educating the potential buyer in his/her dealings with breeders. We invite you to compare Codes of Ethics and to question whether or not a breeder you are considering subscribes to this Code of Ethics or to one that provides the breed with little or no protection. The choice is yours.
