My husband Dale and I have been married 38 years. We have 2 sons and 5 grandkids. I have been breeding/showing Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for 15 years. Six years ago - due to allergies - I began my search for a sweet little dog with little to no health issues and one that did not shed!!!! I found the Coton de Tulear and have absolutely fallen in love with this breed!!!! They fit in my family perfectly as I am sure they will fit in yours!!!
