  Coton Reply Contact My cousin has narrowed her dog choices to a pound mutt, an Aussie, or a Coton.  Pound mutts are no problem and I've been hanging around a really nice Aussie breeder at shows, but I don't know if I've ever even SEEN a Coton!  Know of any good breeders or rescues?  I actually think this is the best choice for my cousin but we don't know where to find one. http://vankelderdogs.dutchbingo.net http://www.schhmi.com

  Re: Coton Reply Contact I don't agree at ALL that most reputable breeders don't do websites. (I just think that MORE irresponsibel ones do websites.) Cotons are fairly few and far between in rescue. Here's where I'd start -http://www.cotondogs.com/ Most rare breeds have a national rescue, rather than local or regional ones, so the breed club is who you'll want to contact both for breeder referrals AND the rescue.

Do Nikon and Kenya's breeders have websites? You said Kenya was your first dog, how did you decide the breeder was a good choice? Most breeders have websites, it is up to the person looking for a dog to make the proper decision. It's all about the dogs!

  Re: Coton Reply Contact Um, yes (well, not Nikon's sire), but they are GSDs not Cotons.  I've never seen a Coton in person.  Nikon's breeder has a website but it is very sparse and usually out of date, hence why I am asking for recommendations, not web sites.  The decision should not be made based on a web site or Google search, especially if this is her first dog.  Some of the best breeders have outdated web sites or no site at all.  I am asking if anyone here has experience with the breed or has any referrals for good breeders, please post them here or PM me.  I chose my dogs after meeting the dogs/parent(s) in person and I choose breeders based on a lot of criteria not really relevant to this thread but in the URL in my sig if it's so important.  It is really up to my aunt to choose but the least I can do is help her get some possible choices together.  This doesn't really have anything to do with me or my dogs... http://vankelderdogs.dutchbingo.net http://www.schhmi.com

I was not trying to get personal, my point was that you surely did research and put a lot of time into finding them, so the same could apply to this situation. It's all about the dogs!
