Charlie is the sweetest, happiest, most loyal and affectionate puppy – better than I could have hoped! From his enthusiastic morning greeting, to cuddling up on the couch with me in the evening, Charlie brings joy all day long. He’s wonderfully social and friendly, making friends wherever we go. He loves to play with us and the cats at home, and when we visit my grandmother, he is very gentle and careful around her. He’s a very special puppy! He’s also very smart, learning new tricks and commands easily and can adapt to new situations with ease. I absolutely recommend Thompson Cotons, because their dogs are treated so well and the puppies are ready to become part of your family. These are, hands down, the best companion dogs you’ll find!

Congratulations to the Five Thompsons!
Day One: You did so very much more than you say in “Our Difference.” Here is where we are after 24 hours together. We both slept like tired little puppies. I am so impressed by his behavior. He sits before a door, for his meals, has yet to make a mistake here. He sleeps in the kennel, without crying. He walks on a light leash and sits when I stop walking, HONEST! He does this every single time. He has bonded to me immediately so your tee shirt and toy deal work! It must make him feel secure, too.
Day Two: This morning when it was time to take Teddy out I walked him to the front door. I thought he was pottying. Shame on me to think such a thing! He was sitting so I would open the door so he could go out.
Silas, you were spot on. Teddy is the best follower. Today we walked down the block off leash and each and every time I stopped, he sat and looked up at me. You all did it! Five of you being so consistent gave me an obedient dog. Now I must do my part and build on your efforts.
Day Three: Still not one accident in the house. Your directions said, “potty after sleep, play, eat”. Darn simple!
Day Four: Today Teddy and I showed each other we were serious about our new relationship. He responded to his name over 40 times when I called him and he was welcoming as he met my almost 14 year old Polish Lowland Sheepdog. Teddy really wants Kip to be his pal but shows friendly caution when meeting a new pooches.
He is so cute and his behavior stunning. Certainly your training, exercise and love has paid off! I have known many dogs and puppies and never have seen this before! Thank you so much. You are all amazing with puppies!

Gracie is such a delight! She is so sweet and very playful. She has grown into the perfect dog! We just love her so much! She is smart, never has any potty accidents and is so good with kids. She is also good with our parrots. She has accepted them into her pack and has never shown any aggression to them. This was such a relief to me, as it was a deciding factor in choosing a Coton. She loves to have doggie friends come over to play. She absolutely loves going for walks and running at the off leash dog park. She is an exceptionally fast runner and extremely graceful. It is so fun to watch her bound, bounce and leap through the field and woods. The dog park regulars all know her by name, she delights all with her boundless energy and playfulness. We are so very pleased with our girl from Thompson Cotons. She is loved very much and spoiled often. We couldn’t be more pleased with our darling girl.

My thanks to the Thompson family! The love and excellent care they give their dogs make it very easy for new “parents”. My little Primrose is cuddly, smart, calm and FUNNY. She is also really getting the hang of going outside to potty, as well as learning many other basic commands that puppies need to know. Christine definitely chose the right puppy for me! As so many others have said, there are not enough superlatives to describe the wonderful experience of getting a healthy, socialized, sweet dog from Thompson Cotons. You will be so happy you did!
Tove and family, CA
Poe is wonderful! It just gets better each day. He has brought so much joy to our home…we just love him! If you are looking to add a Coton to your family, look no further than Thompson Cotons. Christine and their family gave Poe a great start in life! Thank you!

Chloe is magical. It was love at first sight. She is sweet, calm, cuddly and gentle. She brings joy to our family.

I was quite apprehensive about buying a puppy over the internet. After years of research I knew that a Malagasy Coton de Tulear was the breed I wanted but unfortunately there were no breeders here in Canada. I came across the Thompson family early in my search, I was impressed with the description of their breeding program, and how thorough their puppy rearing was. After being blessed to have one of their puppies; Maple (formerly Miranda) as part of our family for the past five months I can assure you everything on their ‘Our difference’ page is all true. Christine worked with us to help decide which of the puppies would be best for our family, we sent her a blanket the kids and I had made with our scent on it but I was still very nervous about what to expect when I met her at the airport. I was completely blown away with how quickly Maple included me as part of her pack, it was amazing to see how relaxed, balanced and well socialized she was already, as well as how quickly she bonded with the rest of the family when we got home. She was a dream travel companion, on our flights and has been a wonderful companion since.
I would highly recommend if you are wanting to have one of these incredible dogs join your family make sure you do your research and get it from a breeder like Christine and her family, who give their puppies the best possible start in life. They have set the bar high for how all breeders should be raising their pups, and I hope to one day be able to emulate them.

Our coton, Sebastian, has been a total joy to us. Every step of the process has been easy. Picking him up (at Denver Airport) went smoothly, he travels very well, and even at eight weeks he was well on his way toward being housebroken and a wonderful companion. He even gets along well with our cat! He has a delightful temperament and loves going for hikes, one of our favorite passtimes. We couldn’t be happier!
The Eichenberger Family, Chappaqua, NY
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Thompson Cotons. The loving care they give to their puppies, and the attention they give to their customers, is outstanding. Their wonderful puppies are proof! Our puppy, Mitsiky (aka Frolic) is now 6 months old, a tall boy, and he is smart as can be, obedient, sociable, a great companion, and he adores us as much as we adore him! We are especially impressed by how well he travels. He came with us to visit family and hike in the Swiss Alps and seems to enjoy it as much as we do. Mitsiky is everything we were hoping for. We recommend the Thompsons and their amazing puppies to anyone looking for their ideal family dog.
Sandy and Pete Ramsey
We are so happy that we did our research and found Thompson Cotons! Christine, Jeffrey and their three children all play a huge part in the excellent care and training that goes into raising the puppies until they are ready for their new homes. Our Peyton is an amazing dog with a loving and playful personality. He is so smart!
When we got him at 8 weeks he was basically potty trained to go outside. He understood the sit command and was ready for further training. He was totally socialized. He loves children, adults, dogs and cats! I can’t say enough about the love and care that they give to all of their puppies. They are brought up in a beautiful setting, given excellent food and training. We would never go anywhere else for an amazing Coton!
