Hello, we're Christina and Darrell, the proud owners of several cotons, a rare and wonderful breed of dogs from Madagascar. Cotons are very sociable dogs that get along well with children, other dogs and animals.  Our cotons are members of the Malagasy CTCA (Coton de Tulear Club of America), an association committed to preserving the original Malagasy bloodline of Cotons de Tulear.

“Newsie” is our Coton de Tulear female; born in August of 2007 to South Paw Kennel in Rhode Island.  She is an extraordinarily gentle and sweet dog, who loves to play, cuddle with us on the couch, and will enthusiastically greet anyone who we welcome into our home.  She is an alert watch dog, but will quickly change from barking to smiling and happily grunting at the presence of visiting family and friends.  Usually after meeting someone for the first time, she will be cuddled up on their lap within a few minutes. But mainly she just loves our companionship.  Because of her fantastic disposition, we decided to breed her in the summer of 2009.  We were lucky to find an equally wonderful stud dog in “Buddy” from Rock N' Roll Cotons in Rhode Island.  And in mid-September 2009, we were fortunate to have 5 healthy puppies.

Our puppies were available for sale in mid-November of last year.  We will breed Newsie once more, for the second and last time late this fall.  Puppies will again be available in early 2011.  We are committed to furthering the Malagasy Coton de Tulear breed, but also want health and longevity in our pets.  We are comfortable with only breeding Newsie twice for that reason.  Please contact us with any serious interest; due to the high level of interest with last year's litter, it would be best to contact us sooner than later.  Puppies are only for pick-up, we will not ship puppies under any circumstances.
