Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
After meeting my first Coton de Tulear when I was a child, I was completely captivated. I wondered whether the Coton I had met was unique, so I began researching the breed, attending dog shows, and learning from experienced breeders. That journey inspired me to combine my lifelong love of dogs with my dream of raising exceptional companion puppies.What makes your program special?
I intentionally keep my program small. My breeding pair are my only dogs, allowing me to devote my time and attention to their health and training. Both parents live in my home, have completed health testing and hold OFA CHIC numbers. Each family receives a puppy guide I personally developed, combining the methods I use in my program with years of research and insights from respected trainers.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Sosuke, dad
Coton de Tulear
About Sosuke
Sosuke has been everything I hoped for in a Coton de Tulear. This was his first litter, and he naturally embraced the puppies with remarkable gentleness and patience, interacting with them in a calm, nurturing way from the very beginning. His sweet, easygoing personality shines through in every interaction, whether he's playing with children, greeting visitors, or spending time with his family. He is exceptionally intelligent, eager to learn, and is currently working toward earning his AKC Trick Dog Novice (TKN) title. Sosuke was a joy to train, quickly picking up new skills using positive reinforcement. Structurally, he has beautiful breed type and sound conformation. He has also completed comprehensive health testing, including OFA CHIC certification, and is Embark DNA tested and clear (not even a carrier) for all 273 genetic health conditions included on Embark's screening panel. Above all, he has the joyful, affectionate, people-oriented temperament that makes the Coton de Tulear such an extraordinary companion.

About Ponyo
Ponyo is the embodiment of everything I love about the Coton de Tulear breed. She is affectionate, intuitive, incredibly intelligent, and happiest when she's with her family. This was her first litter, and she exceeded every expectation as a mother. Even after her puppies were fully weaned, she eagerly sought them out every day, gently initiating play, grooming them, and continuing to nurture them long after her maternal responsibilities had ended. Watching her relationship with her puppies was truly special. Ponyo is also remarkably quick to learn. She taught herself to ring a bell by the door to let us know when she needs to go outside and thrives on learning new routines. Her joyful personality, gentle nature, and unwavering devotion to both people and other dogs make her, in my opinion, the ideal Coton temperament. She is the kind of dog that makes everyone who meets her fall in love with the breed.
