Hi Guys,

Has anyone had any experience with a Coton de Tulear?

If so I'm interested in hearing how much maintenance the coat is. As a reference point I previously had two Shih Tzu's (11 & 17.5) which I had groomed about every 8 weeks and would be combed daily.

Also are they capable swimmers?

Many Thanks

M.

A friend has a couple of these, I thought they were Bichon (sp) til I was corrected!

They just get regularly brushed, most days after walking, and clipped 2 or 3 times a year, with maybe a trim of a tuffty bit inbetween.

They do both love swimming in anything more than 2' deep but not sure if that's a breed thing or just dog specific.

They are also very placid almost labrador stupid but have boundless energy and will run for miles before collapsing.
