Day 97 - Coton de Tulear

For those of you , reading today's title you must have gone euh !!!
What is a Coton de Tulear
Well it's my dog Daphne's breed , she's adorable and loving and they are the best breed ever.


The Coton de Tuléar is a small breed of dog. It is named for the city of Tuléar in Madagascar and its cotton textured coat. Multiple registries with differing standards describe the Coton de Tuléar, but in general, it has very soft hair, comparable to a cotton ball, a prominent black nose, large expressive eyes (usually covered by bangs) and somewhat short puffy legs.

Temperament

The Coton is a playful, affectionate, intelligent breed. It becomes attached to people and as a result can have separation anxiety. It is a very vocal breed, grunting and making other noises when having fun. Some Cotons have a habit of jumping up and walking on their hind legs to please people. 

Some Cotons may exhibit shyness or cautiousness in new situations, especially around strangers, but this can usually be overcome with training. Most Cotons love meeting new people and are very curious in new situations. The dogs are very trainable with praise, instead of punishment. Cotons are great with kids and love to play.
