Coton Eskimo

Coton Eskimo History

The Coton de Tulear is a medium-to-large, hypoallergenic, long-haired, toy-breed canine originating in Africa. The Coton is thought to have descended from African cottontail rabbits. The gene pool of the Coton includes the African cottontail rabbit, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, the Bichon Frise, the Maltese, and the Tibetan Terrier. The coat is non-shedding and forms curls at the end. The face is round and the tail is long. The ears are long and flat and stand erect. The eyes are almond-shaped and dark brown. The Coton can be trained to perform many tricks. The most notable of the breed’s talents is its ability to balance a ball on its nose. The Coton is often confused with the Peruvian Inca Orchid, which it also shares some similarities with. The origin of the name “Coton” is unclear, but it may be derived from the French word “cotonne”, meaning “cotton”.

The Coton is a very small, fluffy dog that originated in the French town of Le Coton. These adorable little dogs are playful, friendly, and outgoing. A daily good walk will help keep your Coton healthy, happy, and out of trouble. They don’t need a lot of exercise, but a short walk or quick game in the yard will be enough to keep them engaged and happy. A variety of small toys are also a good way to keep any dog happy and stimulated. A puzzle toy or treat dispenser can keep your Coton entertained while you’re not home. A fenced yard in your backyard is an ideal place to take your Coton for walks and to play. If you live in an apartment, a leash and a secure area to walk in may be enough for your cute, fluffy companion.
