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:
“I love Italian opera—it’s so reckless. Damn Wagner, and his bellowings at Fate and death. Damn Debussy, and his averted face. I like the Italians who run all on impulse, and don’t care about their immortal souls, and don’t worry about the ultimate.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“I am not going to have 2,000 condoms hanging in my window. I don’t care what it represents.”
—Sharon Zuckerbrod, U.S. business executive. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, p. 23 (November 20, 1989)
