The Madagascar Coton de Tulear is a miniature dog breed with a very soft white coat, reminiscent of cotton in quality. This feature is reflected in its name – “Coton” (French Coton) means “cotton”, and Tulear (Tuléar) – the port on the island of Madagascar, where this dog came from. Its second name is Madagascar Bichon.
