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.

Famous quotes containing the word care:
“As to the rout that is made about people who are ruined by extravagance, it is no matter to the nation that some individuals suffer. When so much general productive exertion is the consequence of luxury, the nation does not care though there are debtors in gaol; nay, they would not care though their creditors were there too.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Logic takes care of itself; all we have to do is to look and see how it does it.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“And this is the moral—Stick to your sphere,
Or if you insist, as you have a right,
On spreading your wings for a loftier flight,
The moral is—Take care how you light.”
—John Townsend Trowbridge (1827–1916)
