About Snowtown Cotons
We are a small home-based breeder just outside of Buffalo,
New York. My husband Gene and I (Patti) first fell in love with
the Coton de Tulear (pronounced coe-TAWN day
TULE-ee-r) years ago when searching for the perfect smaller
dog for our family. The Coton fit all the qualities we were
looking for in a family dog - friendly, easy-going, good with
children, and of course, adorable! We soon had our first
Coton, Clover. She met all our expectations and so much
more!
In addition to the above qualities, the Coton is extremely
devoted to its people, affectionate, lively, and intelligent. Its
only job in life is to be your loving companion. Cotons are
non-shedding and are an ideal match for people with
allergies. They are a very healthy breed and have few to no
genetic health problems. The approximate life span of a
Coton is 15 - 19 years.
Our Cotons are above all our pets and are showered with
love and lots of attention. They are indoor pets and live in
our home as part of our family. They are very well socialized
with our children and our other pets. We stress good
personality and sound temperament. Our breeding dogs are
regularly health-checked and have clearances from both
OFA and CERF. You can be assured that a Snowtown
puppy is healthy and well bred.

When choosing a breeder look for one who does the following: * Ideally, keeps his or her pets as part of the family. * Encourages you to meet and spend time with your puppy's parents, and allows you to see where they spend most of their time. Area is clean and well maintained. * Gets to know potential adoptive families. Will not sell their dogs to just anyone. * Doesn't sell animals too young—sells puppies only after they are 8 to 12 weeks old. * Can provide references from other families who have purchased puppies. * Keeps breeding dogs healthy, well fed, and well socialized. * Provides professional veterinary care for all their animals. * Performs health tests on fathers and mothers prior to breeding to ensure their puppies do not have genetic defects. * Has a good relationship with a local veterinarian and can show you records of visits for the puppy. * Bases breeding frequency on mother's health, age, condition and recuperative abilities. * Does not breed extremely young or old animals. * Discusses positive and negative aspects of particular animals and breeds with potential owners. * Encourages multiple visits to meet the puppy. * Will take back any of their animals, at any time and for any reason. |
