Sherica Cotons
Meet the breeder
I'm Lorraine N., the breeder behind Sherica Cotons located in Maricopa County, AZ. My dogs are proven champions in the ring and in the hearts of their forever families. I breed for health, temperament, and conformation. I study the pedigree, structure, and genetics of every Coton de Tulear pair prior to breeding. I truly love my dogs and what I do.
Q. & A. with Lorraine
Why did you start breeding?
It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the breed. It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal bloodlines, but that I am improving this breed with each litter and preserving the amazing qualities of these dogs.What makes your program special?
My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
