Coton de Tulear

Coton de Tulear is an adorable little dog, long-haired with a texture similar to that of cotton (hence its name), cheerful and turbulent. The height-to-length ratio is 2/3. The head seen from above has a triangular shape; the skull has a domed upper profile; the muzzle, shorter than the skull, measures approximately 6 cm; the stop is not very accentuated. The eyes are round, lively, dark in color. The drooping, thin and triangular ears, about 7 cm long, are set high on the skull. The trunk has a slightly convex upper line. The limbs must be perfectly plump. The tail is set low, about 18 cm long, thick at the base and thin at the tip; at rest, it descends under the hock and its end is raised.
