Are Coton de Tulears good family dogs?

Yes, Coton de Tulears are good family dogs thanks to their affectionate, playful, and adaptable nature. They have been beloved companions for centuries and positively thrive on human companionship. The type of family that best suits a Coton de Tulear is one that can provide plenty of attention and interaction. Cotons do well in households where they are not left alone for long periods, as they thrive on companionship and can develop separation anxiety if left isolated.

Families that are moderately active and can include their canine BFF in their activities, whether it's playing in the yard, going for walks, or just spending time together indoors, are ideal. Cotons also benefit from consistent positive reinforcement training and socialization, which helps them become well-mannered and confident family members. 

Overall, a loving, attentive family that can offer both play and relaxation time will find a delightful companion in a Coton de Tulear.
