Does Anyone Know Any Information About A Dog Called A "Coton De Tulear"? I Know They're Originally From Madagascar And Are Very Low Maintenance But Any Other Information Would Be Helpful. I Don't Know Anybody Who Knows About This Type Of Dog. Thanks For Your Help.

This is information out of the Simon and Schuster's Guide to Dogs:

Origin: This breed has been known for centuries in Tulear Madagascar. It was brought to the United States in 1971.

Description: This is a delightful small dog similar to the Maltese. Height is 11"-12 1/4" and weight is 7-9 pounds. The most outstanding characteristic of the Coton de Tulear is the coat. Its name suggests a long heavy cottonlike hair. It is white with slight yellowish makings on its ears.

Personality: Devoted, affectionate, very attached to its home and owner.

Uses: It is a companion dog that loves wide-open spaces, enjoys swimming, and can follow its master on horseback for many miles.
