Our Dogs
We feel very strongly that we should take care to keep the Coton breed as healthy as possible. There are two genetic mutations that we test for which cause CMR2 and Neo-Natal Ataxia. No mutation has been detected in any of our dogs and none of them are carriers. We strongly advise anybody looking for a puppy to check that the breeder is doing these tests.
Coppercotons Blitz at Cotoncapers
Phoebe was our first coton and we have shown her quite extensively. She is friendly and outgoing, loves her toys and enjoys playing with all the other dogs. She has had one litter and is a brilliant mum.
Cotonkiss Streaptease at Cotoncapers
Strips was born in Italy and came over to England to join Hazel and Gordon at their Cotonkiss home. She came to us last year and has become part of the family. She has a lovely calm nature and is a superb mother. She has now retired from breeding having had her last litter born on 6th April 2009. She will be staying with us for the rest of her life. Further photos can be seen on the grooming page.
