​Working together protecting our rare breed.​

Picture
​It takes a community of forward thinking and planning to keep a small gene pool, like the Coton de Tulear, healthy for generations to come. ​Embracing new technologies as they develop ​will allow us to continue producing and raising healthy, clown-like, ​lovable Malagasy Coton de Tulear Puppies. Choosing a MCPC Breeder gives you peace of mind. Knowing your breeder is using ALL of the available tools to keep diversity in the breed, which minimizes genetic diseases, is the best start for your Coton de Tulear puppy's future.
PictureBlack and White Cotons
Black and White Cotons ​will hold some color as they age. The black usually fades to silver-gray to a deep charcoal coloring. Some will hold their jet black color.
Tricolor Cotons
Tricolor Cotons are born with black, brown and white markings. The color will gradually fade, sometimes to all white with only some residual coloring on the head.
White Cotons
White Cotons are born predominately white sometimes with some reddish or blush color, they have no black hairs at all and usually fade to all white as an adult.
Tall Cotons
It's believed the Tall Coton's height (14"-18") comes from the rare Morondava Hunting Dog present (in low numbers) in Madagascar. Some Tall Cotons have even reached 20" in height.
Differences are good for a gene pool.  Selecting for only one type of trait, in a breed that has many, is wrong. 
The Malagasy Coton de Tulear has different coat colors and sizes.  We embrace them all.
A closed gene pool 
can never get bigger
But it can get

smaller

let's WORK

Together

Breeders and families working together.

IT'S UP TO US

Change
We use DNA genotyping to determine the genetic diversity and coefficient of inbreeding (COI). This new technology is another tool available to breeders. 
The time to react is before 
a breed loses genetic diversity.
