♥Kazaam is Top Dog In Canada for 2009♥

Yesterday, I was informed by Kazaam's breeder Valerie Ford of Cotonnelle in Canada...that Kazaam was #1 Coton de Tulear in the The Rare Breed Club of South Western Ontario.  He was also #1 Top dog in group and #6 Top dog overall for 2009. The South Western Rare Breed Club is the largest rare breed club in Canada.
Valerie did a great job showing Kazaam and we are just so proud of both of them.  Kazaam is not only sweet, he's also very beautiful.

♥Another Blog Update♥

I've added some additional pages to my blog to make it easier to maneuver around.  I hope that I don't have to look at Html for about the next year.  LOL  I will be busy in the next days or weeks getting each page individualized.  So look at the very top of the page and underneath the header for buttons that will take you from one page to the next.  It's been great fun re-doing my blog from the ground up. Element by element and layer by layer, using paid for digital scrapbooking kits from some very talented people.


I have also started another blog with blog backgrounds that I've designed.  Again, using element upon element and layer upon layer.  You can find that blog on my sidebar or just click here:


Lynn's Blog Designs


If there is something that catches your eye, (I will be adding more), let me know and I can give you step by step instructions.  I do not charge for these because I just enjoy doing them.  You will have to display the proper credits on your blog though in fairness to the scrap designers and myself.
You can email me for more information.  The blog designs are original so you won't see yourself coming and going like with some of the other ones out there.


I'll also be working on a new look for my website.  Very Vintage :)

The Coton de Tulear and AKC

It seems that some Coton breeders are hell bent on bringing the Coton de Tulear

to AKC recognition. The Coton de Tulear was brought here in the 70's and

has remained a rare breed dog. The AKC is in bed with the puppy mills. They run on

the money they receive from registrations. Almost like a Wall Street kind of deal.

The people that run it are making gobs of cash. They really don't care about the dogs.

They are present at auctions, handing out registration papers to all the puppy mill

puppies. Many very ill.

As a breeder, I've received many a phone call asking why my pups cost more than

some of the $300 pups they are finding on the internet..I just want to scream,

"HEY PEOPLE, HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED OPRAH"??? "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD"

The Coton de Tulear breeders that are fighting to ruin our breed are doing it for...well

are you ready for this? They are doing it because there will be more shows in their

area. Huh? I won't even go there. I just think that if you are looking on my website

or blog, you are interested in possibly bringing a Coton puppy into your home.

BUT, before you go any further...please watch this video..so you will understand

why you would never buy a puppy from a pet store or puppy mill.

One more thing...when you are interviewing breeders, ask them if they voted yes

for AKC...although they may not answer you truthfully, you will certainly know when

they start to register their dogs with AKC and bring their dogs to prance around in the

show rings of AKC shows.

Renaissance Cotons will NEVER register their dogs or puppies with the AKC. We will

not dirty our hands and be involved in this in any way. We will not mingle our

pedigrees with those puppy mill pups that are probably not even 100% Coton.

Regardless, these dogs live a horrible and painful life and Renaissance Cotons, I repeat,

will NEVER be involved in this.

Renaissance Cotons will re-publish this post often for all the see.

♥Burt has a new baby sister♥

Burt the Coton de Tulear has a new baby sister

What an incredibly beautiful photo that we just had to share.

The pure innocence of it all...and the bond that Burt has already made with this beautiful baby girl, named Phoebe. The Coton de Tulear is such an amazing little dog.

Here is what Burt's Mom and Dad have to say:

Hello Lynn,

I wanted to send you an update on Burt! He's such a lovely family dog, we could not have asked for a better dog. We get complements from everyone on how well behaved he is around our new baby!

We took a class called Barks & Babies through Isis Maternity (a chain around the Boston area). I would highly recommend that to anyone you know who is up in the area looking into how to integrate a baby into the dog's family. It was short and helpful, with good hints on how to prepare them for screaming, crying, hair pulling, routine changes, etc.

Burt has been fantastic with Phoebe. He loves her very much, and is super attentive to her noises. One day I was throwing a load of laundry in the wash, and could not hear her start to cry over the running water. He came running in to alert me, barking and running back to her pack n play barking. He tries to help out with baths, hanging over the side of the tub extremely interested in the process. He requires an after-bath inspection of her to make sure she's ok (since most baths include crying).

He also LOVES pregnant women! He would sit on my belly with his front paws on my legs and his bum on my belly. He nows checks everyone who visits with a belly to see if there is a baby in theirs!

Anyways, cheers to you for breeding such wonderful dogs. We could not have asked for a better addition to our growing family.

Take care,

Lauren and Stu
