Peacefully nestled in the Colorado Rockies, 7000 feet up at the base of Mount Sopris is Old Snowmass. Big Sky country! Clean air, clean water, casual, all day sunshine and the beautiful mountains are what attracted me to this area 23 years ago.
After many careers and no human children, I chose to open my heart and home to dogs, my love and passion.

After a long search for the world's best breed, I chose
Coton de Tulear
and found my little girl Colby in Canada.
I fell madly in love with her charm, goofy personality, adaptability, flexibility, beauty, intelligence and enthusiasm.

She was such a joy, I hunted worldwide to find her brother and mate. In Quebec Canada I found our mutual Prince Charming, Cotonnerie Rocky Mountain High. He is a lover with a huge white coat. He looks like a white teddy bear,mellow and at times ornery in a silly way. He has captured his Mama's heart and soul.
Aspen-Astree des Flocons de Juillet, came all the way from Chartres France. Ma petite fille Francais is a lively, funny, graceful little girl who has grown into a lovely young lady!
She has been a complete joy from the day she entered our home.
Sierra is the daughter of Rocky and Colby, I decided she needed to stay here. She's a blessed gift from God and a great joy to us all. She's a water lover who jumps right into the lakes and streams. Did Cotons have a water dog ancestor?
She's a playful, confident, funny, goofball. A perfect combination of her parents.
Since then we've added Butter Boo who fathered sweet Cheyenne. Butter Boo is now retired but is still my little guy.
Sierra has produced 2 fabulous boys Tanner and Harvey, and I'm thrilled with their development.
Molly was born black and has faded to a salt & pepper, champagne and white color. She's just beautiful. We're hoping for her first litter in 2010.
You can see them all on "my Cotons" page and then go to "
My other Cotons".

My commitment is to provide a healthy and happy home.
My main goal to my breeding program is to produce healthy Cotons with fun personalities, loving souls with wonderful coats, who will grow into social, even tempered, cute and fun adults.
Also wishing to maintain the integrity of the historical characteristics of the
Coton de Tulear, Royal Dog of Madagascar.
All in hopes my puppies will
bring love, joy and happiness to their forever homes.

To achieve these goals I carefully plan my breeding stock, believing in the Code of Ethics . I am a Board of directors member of the American Coton de Tulear Club(ACC), and the Rocky Mountain Coton Club. All the Cotons have passed their eye CERFs, full thyroid, hips, patellas, liver/kidney function and have had full blood panels.
Always look for an ACC COE breeder and never, never buy from a pet store, broker or puppymill. Say No to AKC!
