I
have been involved in the sport of purebred dogs for over 30 years. I
started showing and breeding dogs and horses while still in school, also
showing cattle, hogs and sheep. In 1984, I
turned to the lesser known, "rare" breeds as it was difficult to
find a terrific dog to show that was sound in mind and body. I refuse
to breed dogs that have
disqualifying faults, known hereditable disease, or poor temperaments. We thoroughly evaluate
all potential breeding stock and resulting puppies for any hidden genetic
"defects". We got our first Coton 20 years ago, and as
they say - the rest was history!
It is of the utmost importance to us that our puppies are placed in a caring, loving
environment. All puppies are raised in our home (in our
bedroom and then move into the kitchen) with love and also with
emphasis placed on proper socialization. and exposure to the sights and
sounds of normal household life. We are available to our new
"owners" for any questions they may have regarding the puppy. Our
commitment to the Coton is that of the lifetime of the dog. We believe that if the new
owner is "Happy" then our "fur kids" will be happy as well.
We show our dogs in conformation shows with IABKC, and
ARBA.
We are members of the
United States of America Coton de Tulear Club
- and I am past President of the
USACTC, Inc. as well as currently serving the club on the board .
in addition to this, I started the first internet email group devoted solely
to the Coton de Tulear, the
Coton Connection
as well as having
established the
Coton Health Link - the first step in creating a open
health
registry for the Coton de Tulear. I have given judging seminars on the
Coton de Tulear and have available for sale on CD-Rom, "The Coton de Tulear Breed Standard
Explained" - please
contact me via email for more information
on how to buy your copy today.
Our
Coton de Tulear all have wonderful, affectionate personalities and all breeding stock is evaluated by our veterinarians for genetic defects. We
guarantee all pups against heritable temperament defects and genetic
disease. Our goal is to produce sound, healthy, happy puppies that are
welcome additions to the proper homes. In addition to being "owned" by
a bunch of Cotons, I train and show other breeds of dogs, design websites
and logos, as well as working in the fashion and design industry.
Randy is in the Fire Service and has served in this field all of his life.
