Meet the breeder

I'm Janie F., the breeder behind Ferne's Kintana Cotons located in Conrad, IA. My family and I have been breeding Coton de Tulears since 2023. This is the best breed I have ever had! They are smart, loyal, protective and little goofy. We raise our puppies as part of the family. Each litter starts out in our bedroom, so we can be available, if mom or pups have issues.

Q. & A. with Janie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with my Coton de Tulear and wanted other people to have the opportunity to fall in love with this great breed as well.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include tri-color and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Janie

Janie has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Janie partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“I deeply care about my puppies and I want to be sure you are a good match. Once you have been screened and approved, I will tell you as much about each puppy's personality as I can and I will ask about your lifestyle. I will let you choose your puppy, but if I think another personality will better match with your family, I will let you know that as well, but the choice is yours. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $300 non-refundable deposit and between $450 - $1,700 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“The price includes the puppy, with deworming, first round of vaccinations, puppy socialization, and delivery within a 2 hour drive from my home. Once the deposit has been made, I will mark the puppy as unavailable. I will begin sending weekly photos and videos of the your new pet to you.”

    I picked up my puppy 10 days ago. The experience was great! I absolutely love my little guy, Bennie. Just took him to local vet and he is a healthy, happy puppy. I would highly recommend Janie and her adorable cotons!

    Working with Janie was a dream! From day one, she kept us in the loop with regular updates, photos, and videos. It’s so clear that she takes immense pride in what she does and truly cares for her pups. We also loved using the Good Dog app—it made everything from finding Janie to bringing our pup home incredibly easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I purchased our Coton de Tulear puppy (Phoebe) from Janie. She was fantastic to work with. She constantly kept us updated with photos and videos until Phoebe was old enough to go home with us. Phoebe is a wonderful addition to our family and we love her very much. Thank you Janie!

    We had an awesome experience with Janie in getting our little boy ‘Milo’. The communication was really great. Quick responses and answered all of our questions. Milo has been a beyond incredible puppy. So sweet, smart and beautiful. He slept through the night from day 1. Our Veterinarian said he was in perfect health. Thanks Janie!
