He mamo ka Coton na ka ʻohana Bichon kahiko. ʻO kēia nā ʻīlio liʻiliʻi a pōkole wāwae o ka ʻāina Mediterranean i aʻo ʻia no nā kaukani makahiki. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ka huaʻōlelo "Bichon" mai ka Farani no "bichonner". ʻO ia hoʻi ka pampering. I kēia manawa hiki ke nīnau i ka mea i hao ʻia ma ʻaneʻi, ʻīlio a kanaka paha? Ua maopopo ka pane: Me nā Bichons, ʻelua ʻaoʻao e hao kekahi i kekahi. ʻO ka hui Bichon ka Maltese, ka Bolognese, ka Bichon Frisé, a me ka Havanese.
#1 He nui nā ʻano like o ka Coton de Tuléar i ka mōʻaukala me ka Havanese.
#2 Ua hoʻokumu ʻia lāua ʻelua ma nā mokupuni i ka wā colonial: ka Havanese ma Cuba, ka Coton ma Madagascar.
Me nā haku colonial, ua hele mai nā kūpuna o lāua ʻelua i nā mokupuni ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio ʻīlio no nā wahine waiwai. Ma laila lākou i hoʻomohala ai i kā lākou ʻano ʻāpana ʻāina i nā kenekulia.
#3 Ua hoʻomohala ʻo Coton de Tuléar i kahi hulu huluhulu e hoʻomanaʻo ana i ka pulupulu ke hele pololei mai ka mea kanu.
E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna, ʻo Coton ka huaʻōlelo Farani no ka pulupulu. ʻO Tuléar ka inoa Palani no Toliara, ke kapikala o ka panalāʻau o ia inoa hoʻokahi ma ke komohana hema o Madagascar.
