Are Coton de Tulears good for first-time pet parents?

Yes, Coton de Tulears are good for first-time parents for a variety of reasons. Their gentle, social, and affectionate nature makes them incredibly welcoming and easy to handle, especially for those new to pet parenting. Their trainability, adaptability, enthusiasm for companionship, and lower exercise needs are also suitable for folks new to caring for pups.
