Say NO to USACTC & AKC
USACTC & AKC not good for the rare breed Coton de Tulear.
From ACT- Advocates for the Coton de Tulear:
Supporters- Not only do Coton owners and breeders fight against recognition by the American Kennel Club, but we also fight the battle against the Coton club that is seeking AKC recognition. The club that is taking the breed against the wishes of the majority of Coton owners is the USACTC. How can anyone put showing above the health and welfare of a breed?
Get familiar with the names that are responsible. http://usactc.org/breeders/breeders-directory/
These are the people that support the actions of USACTC. Here is a link to their board members http://usactc.org/club-information/board-members/
You may notice that some of the names in charge may not be listed in their own Breeders list. Why?
Send them an e-mail and let them know that you support the Coton de Tulear as a rare breed and that the breed is not ready for AKC. Say “No to AKC”!
Please also contact AKC and let them know your thoughts about AKC recognition for this precious rare breed.

Coton de Tulear Neonatal Ataxia Health Testing Fund
Bandera’s Neonatal Ataxia Health Testing Fund for Breeding Cotons
June 12, 2012
In June 2011 the American Coton Club created a Health Testing Fund for ACC Code of Ethics Breeders. One year later we are proud to announce that the Health Testing Fund for Bandera’s Neonatal Ataxia (BNAt) DNA testing of the Coton de Tulear has been extended to all Coton de Tulear breeders!
Due to the overwhelming generosity of the Coton community’s purchases of the 2012 Coton de Tulear Calendar the American Coton Club (ACC) has established the ACC Neonatal Ataxia Health Testing Fund that is now available to all Coton de Tulear Breeders.
Health and Education are a primary goal of the American Coton Club and this is one way that we can help the Coton Community in eradicating this preventable disease from the Coton de Tulear gene pool.
We would like to publicly thank all of those that ordered the 2012 Coton de Tulear Calendar as you have made it possible for ACC to establish this fund. We hope to continue to help the Coton Community.
Health Fund Details:
The American Coton Club will donate funds for DNA testing of Bandera’s Neonatal Ataxia (BNAt) for Coton de Tulear Breeders in hopes of helping to eliminate this disease from the Coton gene pool.
This fund is open to all Coton de Tulear Breeders to use for their breeding Cotons. The ACC will gift $20.00 per Coton de Tulear to Coton de Tulear Breeders who DNA test for Bandera’s Neonatal Ataxia, up to a maximum of 2 Cotons tested per breeder.
The ACC Bandera’s Neonatal Ataxia Health Testing Fund will be for Cotons tested from June 1, 2012 until the health fund is depleted. To reserve your gift please e-mail the ACC Health Committee before sending in your DNA samples. Proof of the completed test must also be forwarded to the ACC Health Committee before you may receive your gift. Proof of your test can be your certificate or a receipt from the lab. All test results will remain confidential. If your Coton was tested prior to this notice but after June 1, 2012 you may send in your proof of test to receive your gift.
We hope that the ACC Bandera’s Neonatal Ataxia Health Testing Fund will help defray the cost of the DNA test and will encourage breeders to test their breeding Cotons. Testing your breeding Cotons will ensure no carriers are bred to one another. Testing allows breeders to make informed breeding decisions so that we can eliminate this disease from the Coton de Tulear gene pool and never have to hear of a tragic Bandera’s litter being born again.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the ACC Health Committee or for more information about the disease and links to the research and testing facilities please visit our Coton de Tulear DNA test web page.
ACC would like to thank everyone for their generosity as well as a special thank you to all who submitted photos for the 2012 Coton de Tulear calendar. You all helped make this health testing fund possible! ACC has started working on the 2013 Coton de Tulear Calendar and encourages everyone to send in their Coton photos for the project. Please send photos to Photos@AmericanCotonClub.com.
Disclaimer: The Bandera’s Neonatal Ataxia DNA test may not be accurate for Cotons with unverifiable heritage. This test is specifically for purebred Cotons de Tulear.
Sincerely,
Hailey Parker on behalf of the ACC Board of Directors

American Coton Club – Coton de Tulear Introduction
American Coton Club – Coton de Tulear Introduction
Coton de Tulear dogs from Code of Ethics Breeder Dennis Presley
Has the Rare Breed Coton De Tulear caught your fancy? Has the tale of their ancient pirate and shipwreck beginnings completely intrigued you? Do you think they are the cutest thing you ever laid your eyes on? This delightful “Royal Dog of Madagascar” and companion to the Malagasy Kings & Nobles has absolutely taken over our hearts forever.
The Coton de Tulear, or “Coton” for short, is a wonderful companion. They make an excellent choice for families with children and are the perfect addition to the family. They are quickly devoted and affectionate making an excellent loving companion. The Coton de Tulear can be quite intuitive and is often used in therapy programs helping those with special needs. They are sturdy and fast making them great in agility which is fun for the Coton and its owner.
Cotons were bred and developed for the sole purpose of being a loyal loving companion dog. They are well suited for this purpose because of their happy personalities, adaptable character, loving attitude, intelligence, entertaining mannerisms and overall cuteness. Cotons tend to adapt to their family’s lifestyle which make them a wonderful pet for a broad spectrum of people. They are happy couch potatoes or thrilled to take a long hike in the mountains with you. Just let them know and they’ll happily follow.
Cotons have been referred to as the “anti-depressant” breed because of their general happiness and abilities to cheer the down and out with their smile, funny play or general empathetic personality. The Coton is a happy dog which doesn’t get too upset with anything that comes their way. Cotons are a relatively healthy breed and look forward to living a life of 15+ years.
Cotons are very smart and aim to please their owners. When given praise and a yummy treat they catch on quickly to training and new commands. They are always up for a new challenge. They do very well in the show ring with their lovely long white coat flowing as they walk around the ring and Cotons love the attention from people and judges.
Cotons derived their name from their beautiful long cotton coats and from their original Bay of Tulear location on the island of Madagascar. The beautiful Coton coat actually has a purpose by being an excellent insulation from heat and cold. The cotton coat is airy and fluffy allowing for air to circulate creating a cooling effect. A Coton in full coat requires daily care but it’s also possible to keep them in a shorter “puppy cut” for easier maintenance.
The Coton coat color is predominantly white as the FCI standard states but Cotons do have color in their genetic heritage. They also possess a strong color dilution gene which means the coat color fades to white or champagne as a Coton matures. Coton markings can be black, fawn, champagne or a tri-color combination. It’s not uncommon to see a white adult Coton which was very dark in color as a small puppy.
The Coton de Tulear coat does not shed, thus they are regarded as being “hypo-allergenic” making them an excellent choice for those who may suffer from dog allergies.
Once you are loved by a Coton, there is no turning back from this charming creature which brings great joy and happiness to your life and will warm your heart for many years to come.
Have fun visiting the ACC web site and getting to know the Rare Breed Coton de Tulear. If you have any questions please feel free to contactACC or one of our ACC Code of Ethics breeders.

LOST Coton de Tulear- now FOUND!!!!
Lost Rare Breed Coton de Tulear in Gatineau, just across the river from Ottawa Canada
Hope was lost on October 18th in Outaouais Masson Angers Canada at 128
Rue des Aulnes in the back courtyard of my daughter’s house.
Hope’s owner, Sylvie Bernard, alerted the police but they are unable to help as they do
not handle lost dog complaints.
The dogs owner, Sylvie Bernard, has placed ads in newspapers in the Ottawa area including Le
Bulletin and the Journal de Montreal. She has placed 600 fliers about
her missing Coton de Tulear, Hope, in postboxes in her area, alerted all the vets and pet grooming
salons in her area and she is also offering a reward.
Please help find Hope and bring her home.
Hope is a 2 year old white female Coton de Tulear lost in Gatineau, Canada which is just across the river from Ottawa.
She had puppies on June 1, 2011 and her hair was cut short before she gave birth.
Her microchip number is: 956000001752569.
Hope disappeared in Outaouais in the district of Masson-Angers (now annexed to Gatineau City) on October 18th at 8:30 at
128 Des Aulnes (at my daughter as I was babysitting my grand childrens). They were in the fenced backyard. It all happened in
Five minutes. Hope was outside with Bonnie her daughter. When I saw Bonnie coming in alone which is not usual because she
Followed her mommy everywhere, I went outside to find her. But she was not there. I looked and knocked at doors, looked in
Many backyards, plus signs everywhere and ads, distributed 600 brochure about Hope to the post office, went to all the vets,
Grooming salons, pet stores – still nothing.I truly want to thank you for all your cooperation. I dream of my Hope…she completely fills all my thoughts at every moment
Of my daily life.Sylvie Bernard.
In French:
Bonjour,
Hope a disparu en Outaouais dans la district de Masson-Angers (maintenant annexée à la ville de Gatineau) le 18 octobre 2011 à 8h30 au 128 rue Des Aulnes (chez ma fille, je gardais mes petits-fils) dans la cour arrière qui était clôturée. Le tout s’est passé dans 5 minutes, elle était à l’éxtérieur avec Bonnie (sa fille) quand j’ai vue Bonnie revenir seule ce qui n’est pas son habitude, elle suivait sa maman partout, tout le temps, j’ai sorti à l’extérieur et tenté de la retrouver en vain. Je l’ai cherché en cognant aux portes, visiter les cours arrières, me promener avec ses 2 filles, placé des avis de recherches partout, distribution de 600 avis de recherche par le bureau de poste du village, visiter les vétérinaires, salon de toilettage, animalerie, placé des affiches aux dépanneurs, toujours introuvable.
Je vous remercie de votre coopération, je rêve de ma Hope et elle envahit complètement mes pensées quotidiennes.

Coton de Tulear versus AKC and Puppy mills
A Closer Look At Animal Welfare Issues :
BCTV- WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THE COTON de TULEAR versus AKC AND PUPPY MILLS
Host: Tina Evangelista-Eppenstein
Tune in tomorrow night on BCTV (A Close-Up Look at Animal Welfare Issues) at 6:30 when my guest, Robyn Rosenthal, Secretary for the Advocates for the Coton de Tulear (ACT) and I will continue our discussion on the AKC’s decision to name another Coton de Tulear group as the “parent club” of the breed. Watch and see why this is a bad decision for this breed or any breed of dog.
Find out why the American Kennel Club is a misnomer at best.
With PA’s dog law ready to go into full effect on July 1st, what will this mean for the dogs in puppy mills that are actually supported by the AKC?
With a new Special Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, Lynn Diehl, replacing Jessie Smith, who has no experience with animals but 32 yrs. of a banking background, what will this mean for PA’s commercial kennels?
Find out the answers to these questions and more on tomorrow night’s show. You can streamline live the show at BCTV.
If you have any questions/comments, please feel free to call in during the live program at 610-378-0426. You can email me personally at tevangelistaepp@yahoo.com.

Bandera’s Neonatal Health Testing Fund
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Lisa Johnson June 15, 2011
ACC Health Committee
HealthCommittee@AmericanCotonClub.com
http://www.AmericanCotonClub.com
AMERICAN COTON CLUB ANNOUNCES HEALTH TESTING FUND
June 15, 2011: The American Coton Club launched a Health Testing Fund for Bandera’s Neonatal Ataxia (BNAt) DNA test for the Coton de Tulear rare breed of dog. The American Coton Club will donate up to $2,000. for the testing of ACC breeding Cotons.
The ACC Bandera’s Neonatal Ataxia Health Testing Fund is for ACC Code of Ethics Breeders who choose to DNA test their breeding Cotons. The ACC will reimburse $20.00 per Coton de Tulear to ACC Breeders who test for Bandera’s Syndrome, up to a maximum of 3 Cotons per breeder.
The ACC Bandera’s Neonatal Health Testing Fund will be for Cotons tested from May 1, 2011 through September 30, 2011. To reserve your reimbursement please e-mail the ACC Health Committee before sending in your DNA samples. Proof of the completed test must also be forwarded to the ACC Health Committee before reimbursement can occur. Proof of the test can either be your certificate or a receipt from the lab. All test results will remain confidential.
If you are an ACC Breeder and you have already completed your testing please send proof of testing to the ACC Health Committee and a reimbursement check will be mailed to you.
Remember ACC will reimburse $20 per Coton, with a maximum number of 3 Cotons per breeder.
We hope that the Bandera’s Neonatal Ataxia Health Testing Fund will help defray the cost of the DNA test and will encourage breeders to test their breeding Cotons. Testing your breeding Cotons will ensure no carriers are bred to one another. Testing will allow breeders to make informed breeding decisions so that we can eliminate this disease and never have to hear of a tragic Bandera’s litter being born again.
In the future, we hope to have a fundraiser which might afford the ACC an opportunity to help more Cotons to be tested, and not just ACC Cotons. For now, this is a place to begin, and one we can all be proud of.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the ACC Health Committee.
For information on DNA testing please visit the ACC web site: http://www.americancotonclub.com/dnatests.htm

UCARE Supports “ACT”
UCARE Supports ACT, Advocates for the Coton de Tulear
Announcement from Jeri McClees and Jane Arrington, founders of UCARE:
When UCARE was formed in 2002 as the only nonprofit corporation committed to the Rescue of this wonderful breed, our articles of incorporation specified that the corporation was organized for the purpose of preventing and abating animal cruelty by rescuing, treating, altering, fostering and rehoming abused, neglected, ill, stray and unwanted Cotons. Furthermore, UCARE was developed to educate current and prospective pet owners as to the proper care and breeding of dogs to prevent cruelty and allow them to make informed choices of where to obtain a Coton.
Never did we think that to fulfill this charter we would have to take an opposing stance to one of the Coton breed clubs and its goal to have the Coton recognized as an AKC “breed”. History has shown that AKC recognition exponentially increases the number of dogs in puppy mills (or “high volume breeder” facilities using the AKC nomenclature) and subjects those dogs to cruel and inhumane treatment. We feel that we have no choice but to assist in preserving the Coton breed as we know it and join in the battle against AKC recognition.
It is with sadness (but pride that others join us in our concerns and our basic goals) that we are making a contribution to the Advocates for the Coton de Tulear (ACT) in the amount of $5,000 in the hopes that it will prod others to join the battle and hopefully assist in winning the war against AKC recognition for the Coton de Tulear. The future of this wonderful breed is at risk if we don’t win that war!
Jeri & Jane, UCARE
P.S. If you wish to donate or get more information about ACT’s efforts, go to: http://advocatesforthecotondetulear.blogspot.com/
Until there are none, please rescue one.UCARE: a 501(c)3 non-profit organization

A Closer Look At Animal Welfare Issues : THE COTON de TULEAR VS. THE AKC
A Closer Look At Animal Welfare Issues :
THE COTON de TULEAR VS. THE AKC
Advocates for the Coton de Tulear
By: Tina Evangelista-Eppenstein
On my show tonight, the topic to be discussed will be the rare breed, Coton de Tulear, being recognized by the AKC. There are several National Coton clubs in the nation with one pursuing this recognition from the AKC.
Why would this recognition be a horrendous mistake for this rare breed? What will it mean for the future of this lovable dog? Do you, the animal lover, understand what the AKC stands for? Do they really care about the welfare of the dogs?
Tune in tonight when my guest, Robyn Rosenthal, representative of The Advocates for the Coton de Tulear (ACT), and “Mom” to two Cotons, will discuss this important and timely topic.
You can view this program at 6:30 PM locally on Channe 13 (Comcast), Channel 19 (Service Electric) or you can streamline it and watch it live at BCTV. Please feel free to call in with questions or comments or email me directly at tevangelistaepp@yahoo.com. You can also catch this show in replays on Friday at 9:30 PM, Saturday at 5:30 PM and Sunday at 8:30 AM. You can also view this show in the archives section as well.
….
About the host and author: Tina is a long-time animal advocate, Tina Evangelista-Eppenstein will take on local, national and worldwide issues affecting animals today. Tina will explore puppymills, animal cruelty, the dog fur industry, animal shelter issues, experimental research on animals and so much more.
