I'm Elise P., the breeder behind Lavender Fields Cotons located in Boerne, TX. We are committed to health, beauty, and emotional well-being in every puppy we raise, and we take great care to ensure our Cotons begin life in a nurturing, home-based environment filled with love and attention.
Q. & A. with Elise
Why did you start breeding?
My love for small, fluffy white dogs began twenty-seven years ago—with Bichons and Havanese stealing my heart early on. But three years ago, I discovered the ultimate cotton-ball companion: the Coton de Tulear. It was love at first sight—and a perfect match for everything I’d ever adored in a dog.
What makes your program special?
Since Cotons have stolen my heart, I’ve devoted myself fully to understanding and honoring this rare and remarkable breed. Through dedicated learning and hands-on care, I now focus all my attention on raising purebred Cotons with exceptional health, temperament, and heart.
We believe every puppy deserves a peaceful start—and every family deserves a lifelong companion who begins life in joy.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
