The name means "Cotton" in French and Tulear was the island port on Madagascar where they were bred and cultivated. The name is pronounced "coTAWN day two-LEE are." Closely related to the Bichon Frise and Maltese, the Coton is its own breed and is recognized as such by most registries.
It is said the Coton de Tulear developed from little white dogs who survived a shipwreck near Madagascar (off the SE coast of Africa). While no one is totally sure if their survival was a remarkable gift from the sea or a sweet story told to children and dog lovers, the result is the same. The Coton de Tulear is a quintessentially happy-natured, beautiful little dog. OMG, the Gilligan's Island song is stuck in my head. That makes me officially OLD.
