I'm Inga Y., the breeder behind Kanto Cotons located in Melbourne, FL. We prioritize breeding only health tested dogs. We care greatly about the well-being of all of our dogs and puppies. We make sure that each and every puppy that leaves our home goes to a home that will love them properly and give them the time, care, and attention they deserve.
