Caring for your Coton de Tulear
The Coton de Tuléar is a breed of small dog named for the city of Tuléar (also known as Toliara) in Madagascar.

Known for its cotton-like coat, the Coton de Tuléar typically grows to no more than 8.2 kg (18 lb), and is white, sometimes with grey, tan, black, or tri-colored markings..
