Meet the breeder

I'm Melissa F., the breeder behind Seven Seas Cotons located in Brogden, NC. Our goal is to provide families with a great family pet. Coton’s have a history of being an easier breed to train, their fur is allergy friendly, and they make great companions. Based on our experience they are great with kids and adults. For these reasons, and more, I believe these are great family pets!

Q. & A. with Melissa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When we started discussing the idea of breeding dogs we knew we wanted to make sure we could breed dogs that would be as healthy as possible (clean bloodlines), have a great temperament, and be allergy friendly. We found Cotons and got our first one, Phoebe. We fell in love and knew this was our breed!

  • What makes your program special?

    We consider ourselves a dog first breeder. Our dogs are our pets first. They live in our home with us and are raised as part of our family. We are incredibly intentional in making sure we keep bloodlines clean so we can have the healthiest, best temperament pups possible. We network with other breeders to grow and learn from those who have done this longer than us.

  • 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.
