Note from Lilli Collins..

Posted by cotondog on 08/04/11

Hi Mama Carol, It's me, Lilli Collins. No news is good news they say, so I apologize for not writing sooner, but I've been very busy lately. What with my surgery, my hair falling out and all that grooming, I've been exhausted. In addition, I have learned to ride on the motorcycle with the folks, (I'm a Biker Bitch !) and have been traveling everywhere. My car seat fits between them on the front console when we go in the truck, and and I rarely am in my travel crate in the back seat when we are traveling. I have two different carriers that I use when we ride the motorcycle, and I'm a lot better about barking at everything, although I am definitely the truck watchdog, as well as keeping up with guarding our RV. I love everything about my life, and Mom says that I am a total joy! I have that same "different" little face as my "other mother with the same brothers"--Nikki. Tell her and my pop Gates that I appreciate my good genes, and glorious good health. I always have my fruit, vegetable, cottage cheese or yogurt with my dog food. We all eat organic food, and of course, I enjoy my Pupcorn, and cheese for training....otherwise no cheap treats. Because of this, I don't have the "red eye" anymore !! Anyway, I'm in Colorado now (I look forward to a little lake swimming next week !) and we're spending the rest of the summer in Spokane, WA. then back to Kerrville Texas for the winter so that Dad can work and Mom can get back to making pottery and keeping the galleries supplied-I love going to the studio with her, and have great human friends there..... I wish you and all my Coton family all the best...love, Lilli (Miss Lillian of Tara), Melinda & Ron Collins

The stork has arrived!

Welcome and thank you for visiting us! Coton de Tulear of Tara has been proudly breeding award winning Cotons de Tulear puppies and dogs since 1992. Tara is located in Burleson, Texas, and my original Cotons de Tulears were acquired from the leading kennels in Belgium, France, Denmark, and Finland. My goal is to enhance this breed by breeding dogs and puppies that exhibit only the best traits and produce the very best Coton de Tulear puppies. I feel that each future generation of puppy must be better than the present, and I will not breed more puppies than there is a demand for.

Blanca named Top 5 agility dogs for her breed!

Posted by cotondog on 03/22/11

Registered Name: CRYS’L CLEAR OF TARA (BLANCA) CGC, RA, MX, MXJ, MXF AKC
Ranking: AKC ranks her in the top 5 agility dogs for her breed
Other: United Agility Champion Title (UACH) in UKC and a Certified Therapy
Dog Call Name: BLANCA
Date of Birth: July 15, 2001
Owners: Owned and loved by Regina & George Austin

From Regina & George: I fell in love with the fluffy cotton ball with big black eyes and nose, and came home with Blanca, a Coton de Tulear, bred by Carol Hughes. After obedience school, Blanca participated in a “paws on” agility demo, and we were hooked. For a “lap dog” and a novice pet owner, we have accomplished a lot. She is currently working on her Mach Agility and Rally Excellent titles. AKC ranks her in the top 5 agility dogs for her breed. Blanca is best known for her fascination with tunnels, her zoomies, and bunny like run. It has taken a village of dear friends to train both of us. It has been a loving and humbling experience. We remain a work in progress. Regina, EPM (Extremely Proud Mom)

About Carol Hughes - the Breeder of Coton de Tulear

Posted by cotondog on 10/09/09

I have been actively involved with the breeding of Performance Quarter Horses and Great Pyrenees for the last twenty years. All have outstanding show records. I am very much aware of traits that should and should not be bred; temperament being of the utmost importance. Health is always important in breeding animals. Therefore, all of my breeding stock has yearly blood panels done as well as being OFA cleared for hips, patellas, elbows and thyroid. Their eyes are cleared by CERF. I am now into my third generation of Cotons, which from a health stand point is very important, because I do know what is behind them.

My original Cotons have been acquired from the leading kennels in Belgium, France, Denmark, and Finland. My goal is to enhance this breed by breeding only the best traits. I feel that each future generation must be better than the present, and I will not breed more pups than there is a demand for.
