Talk:Coton de Tulear

message: Does it both others that the note about the book "Grooming and caring for your Coton De Tulear" was added by the author of that book, and that it (along with another small edit in that same area) is the sum total of that person's contribution to Wikipedia?   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.71.49.157 (talk) 11:06, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Is this article claiming that these dogs were really used to hunt crocodiles and that while doing so, a "pack" of these dogs would work together to outsmart the crocodiles in crossing rivers.  This seems far fetched.--Counsel 22:58, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The only source that I can find for that on the net is dubious at best .  This web page also claims that these dogs were used to hunt wild boar.   I disbelieve.   I'm removing this from the article unless someone provides a verifiable source.  - Trysha (talk) 23:13, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Now that you mention it, it does look rather like a Maltese. The best photo source I have found  shows dogs that definitely look different. It is perhaps worth noting that another photo by the same person (:Image:Giant-Schnauzer.jpg) doesn't look a lot like the breed that the photographer identified it as either. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 17:12, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The Coton De Tulear club of America's standerd states that a that a Coton should be 12-18lb. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smileyface 12 91 (talk • contribs) 
:Yes, but the Coton de Tulear Club of America isn't the only registry. The FCI standard puts the weight at 3.5 to 6 kilograms, 7.7 to 13 pounds. If there are conflicting standards (as is the case here) the weights given in the Wiki article should be generalized. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 12:58, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The CTCA will let a Coton with a gray nose and gray on the pads of their feet breed to but it must have blue eyes. ^_~ Smileyface 12 91
You are totally wrong on the eye color thing. The CTCA requires that a Coton have dark-brown eyes in its standard, and anything else is a disqualification. See http://cotonclub.org/standard.html under the section "eyes" and "disqualifications"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.243.199.35 (talk) 16:00, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Cotons are not always shy around strangers. Most Cotons want to meet new people. Some very mellow cotons aren't as excited about it but most aren't shy. 67.160.148.155 18:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Cotons can smile I don't know if this is important or not. A coton can pull back it's lips to make a smile to show that it's happy. 67.160.148.155 18:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed this image because it is probably not a coton. It looks much more like a maltese. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 18:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm an unregistered user (and don't want to register right now).  I have some sources to cite for the area of the article where it says "citation needed" regarding Coton fans and their feelings about the AKC-FSS.  How do I add this citation?  Do I need to be registered?  If so, can I just type in the link here...and maybe someone else can do the citation for me?  Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.215.26.139 (talk • contribs) 
*Unregistered users (anons) like yourself can make citations. For more info, see WP:REF. That sentence "majority of the breed's supporters in the United States are against an AKC takeover of this rare breed" is a problem with style. The vagueness of the term "majority" is the problem, it's a somewhat debatable term (how many people are the "majority"?, the majority of what group of people, etc). If your sources are good, they might be able to give specifics of who doesn't want the AKC (see WP:WEASEL#Other problems). That stylistic faux pas may have to be resolved before your sources can effectively be put into place. If you provide links to your sources, I may be able to fix the phrase and cite all in one go. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 14:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Cotons do not shed! Cotons have hair there for they lose hair. Shedding requeris fur and if you have fur you have dander and then it is not hypoallergenic. Also it is not unusual to have a coton in a puppy cut (I don't know how many coton owners keep there cotons in this hair style but I can be pretty sure that it is not unusual). Also cotons who have a long coat have to be brushed alot (like twice a day) or they mat up.Smileyface 12 91 07:54, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The caption for the fourth Coton picture says "A Coton de Tulear making the famous 'French face'". I have no idea what this means, and google searches for 'coton "french face"' and 'coton "visage français"' did not turn up anything, so I'm assuming it's only famous to the person who wrote the caption. Consequently, I have removed it. Frankieist (talk) 00:12, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The article says: Average life span 16 to 21 years.
That sounds a little high. If the average life span is as high as
21 years, how come there are no Crotons on the oldest dog list,
some of which are younger than that?  Malty Dog (talk) 11:54, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

message: That coton's were brought to Madagascar by pirates needs to be substantiated with a credible source. Also- what does the fact that Pirates established a base on Madagascar have to do with the dog. Even if Pirates did bring the dog over, there's no way to know if they brought them to St. Mary first. Unless someone has a source. That pirates established a democratic kingdom is not a fact- see Libertaria.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThePBD (talk • contribs) 16:05, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Since 1996, the incidence of aggression in Cotons has increased.  They may bark ferociously at passersby or lunge at other animals on walks.  While socialization is important for all puppies, it is essential for Cotons.  Breeder contracts should contain a refund or replacement clause covering genetic idiopathic aggression identified within the first 12 to 18 months. http://cotonclub.org/Why_aggression.htmlLisagreaves (talk) 20:12, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
