Q. & A. with Catherine & Helen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We had no idea what a special breed the Coton was and shortly became "hooked" on their cheerful temperament, perfect size, and the daily joy they bring We have shown in the American Kennel Club (AKC) and United Kennel Club (UKC) conformation shows. With the support from our gracious and experienced mentors, we decided to start to breed the Cotons.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dams and sires are all registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the United Kennel Club (UKC) and certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). All litters are AKC registered as well. We personally own our dams and sires and have full awareness and control of their health and wellness needs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?
