Product Description
An exciting "new" bichon breed of ancient origins, the Coton de Tuléar hails from the island nation of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean and is as unique as its homeland. Adorned with a "cotton-like" coat, from which the breed derives its name, the Coton de Tuléar makes a distinctive companion dog, prized around the world for its intelligence, beauty and hardiness.

This Special Rare-Breed Edition dedicated to the Coton de Tuléar is the only book of its kind about this unique breed and a much-needed resource for new owners and all fanciers who love and admire this lovely Madagascan jewel. Written by long-time breed fancier Wolfgang Knorr, this book provides insightful chapters on breed history, characteristics of the breed, as well as puppy selection, house-training, obedience training, health care and showing. Illustrated with over 135 full-color photographs, the book proves to be as attractive as it is informative and is a must for everyone interested in this delightful rare breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coton De Tulear (Kennel Club Breed Series), January 23, 2007
By Carola Zitzmann (Holladay, Utah) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book to be very helpful and extremely interesting since. Finding information about these rare dogs is difficult and so I was pleased to find this book was even available. I also enjoyed the photo's in the book and the hints on training and grooming. I would recommend it to anyone considering a Coton De Tulear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this before you adopt the dog!, January 8, 2004
By A Customer
This is an excellent book. It gives you complete and full rounded information on this breed of dog. I would not adopt into or out to this pet without first having this book read.
