Summary
About Coton de Tulear
Small, sturdy companion from Madagascar, the Coton de Tulear has a long, white, cotton‑soft coat needing regular grooming. Cheerful, sensitive and very people focused, it bonds closely, suits apartments, needs moderate exercise and kind training, and is generally long lived but prone to some joint, eye and skin issues.
About Cesky Terrier
Compact Czech hunting and family terrier with a sturdy, low body and long, silky clipped coat. Calm yet playful, typically good with children and dogs when well socialised. Intelligent and sensitive, needs regular exercise, training, and grooming. Still relatively rare outside its homeland.
