All Coton de Tulears are characterized by irresistible charm, cheerful exuberance, wit, and cleverness. They become completely absorbed in their caregiver and accompany them through thick and thin. The small personalities are much more robust and enduring than one would think and love long walks.
Nevertheless, their urge to move is limited and they have no tendency to poach. They are alert but not barkers. The soft fur needs daily careful care, even the puppy has to be used to being brushed. Otherwise uncomplicated and adaptable beginner dog.

#2 What is the lifespan of a Coton de Tulear?

#3 How often should you walk a Coton de Tulear?
Coton De Tulears will need around 30-40 minutes of exercise per day, and will happily join in with games at home. However, they're very affectionate so will as happily accept a cuddle and fuss as they will a game!
