Meet the breeder

I'm Christi W., the breeder behind Bar W Cotons located in Mead, OK. We have bred high-quality puppies for about 20 years. We love what we do and are committed to producing well-bred, healthy puppies for loving homes. We fell in love with the breed because of their adaptability, intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do!

Q. & A. with Christi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding Cotons quite by accident. I fell in love with the breed after I was actually looking for a Havanese. I stumbled upon the Coton breed and instantly knew they were for me. My very first coton Patsy is the matriarch of my program.

  • What makes your program special?

    Raising and training champion horses for over 35 years has set the standard for my Cotons. I believe in quality and strong genetics and I strive to raise animals with confirmation and impeccable disposition. My program is now 3rd and 4th generation so I know my cotons inside and out. My dogs also compete in AKC competition. I currently have 2 male AKC champions and 2 beautiful girls soon to start their show career!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include tri-color, black and white, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    Christi was truly wonderful to work with. She sent regular photos and short videos of our puppy, which made the wait so special. She patiently answered all of my questions about the breed and even shared helpful tips for early training. We were delighted to discover that our puppy already had a great start with potty training when she arrived. Since we live out of state, Christi helped to connect us with a flight nanny, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Christi genuinely loves her Cotons, and it shines through in every way!

    Christi was great to work with, sat with me for a long time and answered all of my questions. I love my puppy so much. He is so sweet, very adventurous and does great with bigger dogs, cats and horses.

    I could not be Happier with Christie or my new baby! She was so interactive with me and constant updates, photos and videos, I can’t imagine anyone more caring with her babies!

    Choosing Christi as our breeder was absolutely the best decision we could have made! It is so clear how much love and foundational training she puts into her litters. Because the puppies are so well-trained from the start, the transition has been incredibly easy for us. Our Coton de Tulear, Bruce, is an amazing puppy and has already brought so much joy and so many smiles into our home. Beyond raising wonderful puppies, Christi's ongoing support has been invaluable. We reached out to her often with questions, and she always took the time to patiently help us and still checks in on Bruce. If you are looking for a caring, dedicated breeder who sets her dogs up for success, we cannot recommend Christi enough!

    Christi is your local coton expert. I'm a first time dog owner and I did a buncha research to find out I wanted a coton. She is very kind and helpful. She provided me with loads of information, echoing much of what I'd read online, and I left feeling confident as a new pet owner. Even after getting home, she was able to follow up and help with any questions I had. She's also got all the paperwork that should come with a coton, as these are not the cheapest breed to get. 10/10 would recommend.

    I brought home a tricolor Coton girl. Christi matched me with the perfect puppy, and my family and I are so happy with her. She is healthy in every way—she eats well, has normal bowel movements, and sleeps well. We took her to her first veterinary checkup, and the veterinarian said her health was perfect. It’s clear that she was very well cared for before coming to us. My first dog was also a Coton, and I absolutely love this breed for its affectionate and loving personality. From the moment I first contacted Christi until the day we brought our puppy home, she was kind, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire process, which made the adoption experience smooth and stress-free. The transaction through the Good Dog website was also very secure, which gave us great peace of mind.
