Here is some coton de tulear history.The reason that the coton de tulear is named coton is because of its lovely white coat which is like a cotton bush. In Madagascar there is a port of the name of tulear. De means 'of' in french so the name coton de tulear means coton of tulear.
When the coton was on the island of Madagascar they roamed free with the terrier so they have a bit of terrier in them, but the coton is more coton and bichhon frise than terrier. The coton had to cope with lots of things in the wild but one thing was the crocodile. To get over crocodile infested rivers, they would bark as if they had fallen into the water. When the crocodile came to see, they would rush about a mile and swim across safely. There are no more cotons in the wild.
