Care
The Coton has a coat which requires brushing and combing almost every day, and requires bathing about one per week to mantain its beautiful coat. They love swimming if you have a pool in your backyard. It's recommended you let your coton use it with supervision and they, like poodles, don't "shed", meaning they don't drop hair on furniture, carpeting etc. But they do lose hair the same way; the texture of their coat causes the shed hair to be trapped in the coat. If not brushed and combed daily, this breed will mat up quickly and may require shaving. Cotons need a short walk every day for exercise, but will appreciate a play session as often as possible and have the endurance to go on a long hike. You should let your dog be free during times. Cotons love to play with other dogs. They are great with kids. They have a long life span of 14 to 20 years.

“You know that your toddler needed love and approval but he often seemed not to care whether he got it or not and never seemed to know how to earn it. Your pre-school child is positively asking you to tell him what does and does not earn approval, so he is ready to learn any social refinement of being human which you will teach him....He knows now that he wants your love and he has learned how to ask for it.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
“What, courage, man! What though care killed a cat, thou hast mettle enough in thee to kill care.”
