My parents keep their Coton short, which saves on the grooming, but she still needs more frequent grooming than e.g. my German Shepherd. Since their fur is more of a cotton-like hair (hence their name), the fur tangles very easily. Outside of the regular brushing, once every month my mother spends 3 hours washing, brushing and combing her. During Fall and Winter it could be more frequent. And again, they keep her fur short. Still fantastic dogs, though. Very intelligent, sassy and affectionate.

I have a coton . They are the best little lap dogs, always wanting to be close to you. I keep mine in a "puppy cut," very short. I take her to a groomer once a month. They are very smart and love a routine. This is a show dog; mine is a home dog.

My great aunt had a coton. After my aunt's passing, Tilly went to live with one of my cousins. She's incredibly sweet and the whole family adores her. She's also a licensed therapy dog, and my aunt said her specialties were nursing homes and children's hospitals because she was small enough to lay on the hospital beds with patients.

Most of the time the dog will be in wraps, but they won't care as it will allow them to run around and play and eat messy foods and all the rest of it. They'll only be unwrapped for a show to show off the coat, then immediately wrapped again.

Can you believe these little mighty-mites were used to hunt wild boar in Madagascar? They fed the royal families and were only allowed to be owned by the royals. Their instincts have not strayed much over generations.

Absolute sweet dogs, love them ❤ the first time I met two of those, I worked at doggy daycare. My boss was a groomer as well. We got those 2 dogs in, they were both around 10yrs old. Unfortunately the owner was hospitalized and very old and sick. So the daycare was the place were they were going to spend time until adoption. The hair was an absolute nightmare. They haven't been taken care of for months at least. Matted to the skin. Have never seen something like that. Poop was matted in the backarea, the paws were just big clumps. Ultra long nails and barely able to see from under their matted fur in the face. It took hours each to get them out of their misery. It was a tough job but we got it done, even that it took us 2 sessions each. It's really important for this breed to start grooming them from young age and stay on it for the rest of their life as they can get very old. I believe 17-19 is not uncommon. Very sweet personality. ❤

I love grooming dogs, but the requirements for grooming a Coton are way beyond my level of sustainability. Odette is a *Demure,* sweet little lass. Thank you as always, Vanessa, for sharing such endearing & informative videos with the public.

What a super cute baby. I hope all the show life will not stress her too much and her humans are also sweet to her, even if she does not win and is old and perhaps not the most beautiful dog anymore.
