Here's what's happening at Cathy's Coton Cuties...

Curious about which dogs have bred and when the puppies are due to arrive?  Look no further! This is your go-to page to find out who has puppies and when they will be ready for their new forever homes.

According to the French tradition, each year is assigned a letter of the alphabet. Every Coton de Tulear puppy born in that year is given a name that begins with that letter. In the spirit of that tradition, we will name each Coton de Tulear puppy born in 2024 with a name beginning with the letter "P". New owners are welcome to change the name if desired.

Kaley & Mufasa bred. Puppies are due May 11th.
Monet & Noki bred. Puppies are due May 16th.
Milly & Noki bred. Puppies are due May 26th.
Pepper & Nicky bred. Puppies are due June 10th.

​​You can follow the arrival and growth of the puppies from each litter by clicking on the name of the Dam under the Current Litters link. (If you are on a phone and have difficulty with the Current Litters links, you will find links to each page on the Home page as well.) We do weekly video and picture updates on each litter.  When we have puppies we mark the puppies as "Available" until someone on our waiting list claims that puppy. Then we mark the puppy as "Reserved". When the puppy leaves our homes we mark him "Sold".

People ask us all the time, "What is the difference between a male and a female puppy?" You may have felt that choosing a breed was the biggest decision you had to make before getting a dog. But now that you have decided on a Coton, you are faced with a more basic decision: do you want a male dog, or a female? There is an old saying that has circulated for a long time among dog aficionados:
“If you want a good dog, get a male. If you want a great dog, get a female and cross your fingers.” 

One thing that must be taken into account when evaluating a saying like
this or the differences that may or may not exist between male and female dogs, is the role played by cultural stereotypes. If men or women have certain concepts about each other, they may have a tendency to project them onto animals in a way that is not entirely appropriate. One further caveat needs to be given, and that is that when we speak of the differences that may really exist between male and female dogs, it must be understood that these are generalities. While a male or female dog may be more likely
to possess certain characteristics or behavioral traits, this does not mean these generalities apply in every case. With all of that out of the way, let’s look at some differences that appear to exist, generally speaking, between male and female dogs.

You're always welcome to fly or drive in to pick up your Coton de Tulear puppy. We are happy to meet you at the airport or welcome you to our home. However, if you prefer, we offer a Coton puppy nanny courier service via air for $250 plus the cost of roundtrip airfare for the puppy nanny.  Most airlines also charge $95-$125 to bring the puppy on board.

Here is how it works... You need to tell us a bit about yourself and the home you can offer to one of our puppies.

Are you an experienced dog owner or will this be your first puppy? You can email this information to us but we prefer a chance to get to know you a bit by chatting with you over the phone. If you live nearby, a visit to our home to meet us and our Cotons is always preferred.

We ship throughout the United States. To reserve a place on our waiting list, we require a signed copy of our contract and a deposit of $500. Contact us for pricing and a personalized copy of our contract to submit with your deposit. We want each of our buyers to experience the fun of watching their puppy grow and develop while they are waiting to join their new forever home. Therefore, we post a weekly video and 4-picture collage for your viewing enjoyment. We are always here to answer your questions and guide you in choosing the perfect puppy for your family. We won't desert you once your puppy leaves our home. We are happy to continue to offer support at any time. We love getting updates and pictures from our puppy buyers. Our committment to you is for the life of your puppy! 

Here's a fun video to demonstrate just how smart and funny these puppies are.

Someone asked me today if I ever videotaped the birth of our puppies.  I told her I had done that once or twice but didn't put it in a permanent spot on my website.  Since I was helping to birth Jazz's puppies at the time of this conversation, I decided to set up the camera and tape the event.  In this video you will see a couple of puppies born.  Please note that it is a slightly bloody process, yet beautiful at the same time.
