March 2011<br />
Good day from sunny Peterborough, where the snow has gone and<br />
the spring flowers are hoping to bloom very soon. I know after this<br />
winter my dogs are happy to play in the yard and sniff new smells,<br />
bark at the wind and have a snooze in front of the patio door when<br />
the sun shines in.<br />
I would like to welcome my fellow board members and I look forward<br />
to working with them. We are feverishly working on a agenda for our<br />
first board meeting, and we welcome any suggestions to improve our<br />
club. Please feel free to email any of the board members with<br />
suggestions or questions and we will answer them as soon as we can.<br />
Please remember that we are volunteers and give our time when we<br />
can. Things can seem to move slowly at times but we will address<br />
any and all concerns. I hope to have a periodic or monthly email to<br />
send out to let you know about things that are happening within our<br />
club. Enjoy your <strong>Coton</strong>s today and give them a hug.<br />

CCTC Board Introductions<br />
We begin by introducing one of our new Board members, Paul Cote. Paul lives in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario and<br />
this is his first time on the Board. Paul will be serving as CCTC secretary for the two year term. If you would<br />
like to read more about Paul and his <strong>Coton</strong>s, see his delightful article in the March 2009 issue of the <strong>Coton</strong><br />
<strong>Malgache</strong> available on the website at www.coton.ca. Here’s Paul:<br />
"I am 1/2 of the ownership team of two beautiful <strong>Coton</strong>s since 2004. Tory and Quinn are the quite<br />
essential example of what <strong>Coton</strong>s are all about. Loyal, playful, affectionate, funny and always know<br />
when to make you laugh or offer a kiss! I offered my services to the club because I want to help<br />
keep the organization going. I think it is important to offer what you can, when you can. <strong>The</strong> CCTC<br />
was started in 1993 by some very caring people and since then has continued to grow again by<br />
many caring people. I hope to be able to offer a little bit of what they have, to continue to grow the<br />
club."<br />

New Members Introductions<br />
Margaret “Maggie” Stagg<br />
Before I launch into a brief biography to introduce myself and my dogs to the club, I would like to thank the<br />
<strong>Club</strong> for accepting me as a member and in particular, a big thank you to my sponsors.<br />
As the story goes, once upon a time, as a young girl growing up in Muskoka my family was very sportsminded.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were very much into hunting, fishing and trapping; my mother included. Even today my<br />
earliest memories are of playing with our pack of dogs who were always my trusty playmates and teachers.<br />
On that note, I still have some of the scars from their teaching lessons for doing things that were considered<br />
‘not cool’ in doggy etiquette. Let’s just say that they taught me well.<br />
As you may suspect, my main job in the family growing up was to look after the dogs. In my family that<br />
meant feeding them, cleaning their kennels, assisting with birthing, as needed, and learning to train them to<br />
retrieve ducks as well as flush out rabbits, quail and pheasant. And of course, work with them in the field.<br />
Over the years we had Beagles, various types of hounds, Labrador Retrievers and a Springer Spaniel. <strong>The</strong><br />
latter was given to me by my uncle when I was five as “my own dog” to work with; not just another member of<br />
the pack.<br />
When I moved away from Muskoka in 1972 to attend university in<br />
Toronto, my life without a dog began. I always said that as long as I<br />
am going to school and working I would not have a dog because in<br />
my mind it was not fair to the dog. And that doggy dry spell<br />
remained until a few years ago when unbeknownst to me my friends<br />
decided that I was the perfect candidate to become a foster parent<br />
to a four year old female dog that their breeder was bringing in from<br />
<strong>De</strong>nmark. Apparently, or so I was told, the preferred foster home<br />
was someone experienced with dogs, in particular alphas, no other<br />
dogs and/or kids in the house. It took them two months and lots of<br />
bait before I bit. <strong>The</strong> clincher was the picture they sent me of the<br />
dog. It was love at first sight for me and my introduction to the<br />
wonderful <strong>Coton</strong> de Tuléar breed. As they say, the rest is history<br />
and I became the foster mom of Mercedes for Sonja Femia of<br />
Cotton Candy <strong>Coton</strong>s.<br />
(Maggie & Mercedes at left)<br />
<strong>The</strong>n this year the opportunity arose for Scruffles (a.k.a. “<strong>The</strong><br />
Patriarch”), Sonja’s beloved resident eight and a half year old boy, to<br />
join my family. He just had too many girls in his home that he could<br />
not be mated with and was feeling very very stressed. I had always liked Scruffles when I visited Sonja’s<br />
home since he is just such a “laid back lover rub my belly” kind of guy who got along with Mercedes. I was<br />
so honoured when Scruffles also chose me. Now Mercedes, my little pack leader, had a follower she liked<br />
and more to the point; could boss around. <strong>The</strong>re were a few hiccoughs along the road, but all the kinks were<br />
eventually smoothed out with a little help from me a.k.a., <strong>The</strong> Master and their Staff.

Scruffles<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Coton</strong> <strong>Malgache</strong> Volume 11 Issue 1<br />
Below: Bear<br />
I remember being told that one <strong>Coton</strong> leads to another <strong>Coton</strong> et cetera. I am living proof that that saying is<br />
sooooooo true because along came the puppy, Bear, the newest addition to the family. Sonja decided that<br />
she wanted to keep the puppy Bear, but needed to place him so he wouldn’t be stressed by the resident<br />
ladies any more than necessary. So after a period of time I decided to take Bear too. It only took but a few<br />
days for me to be reminded of the energy needed to keep up with an energetic little puppy. Bear is now 11<br />
months old and he is starting to turn the corner of what I will affectionately call ‘the terrible two stage’. My<br />
furniture and rugs are grateful for that as am I. He is such a happy handsome little guy (not that I’m<br />
prejudiced) and I am glad he has joined my merry pack.<br />
As an aside, when I first brought Bear home and carried him into the house to introduce him to Mercedes and<br />
Scruffles it went as I predicted. Scruffles willing greeted the little guy and Mercedes, let’s just say she was<br />
not amused, but with a little coaching came around. By the next day Mercedes and Scruffles were on their<br />
way to teaching him the rules of the house and in particular, his ranking in the pack; third. Now the two boys<br />
play well together and Miss Mercedes sits on the sofa with the royal ‘we are not amused’ demeanor and from<br />
time to time, follows up with a verbal response in the same vain. <strong>De</strong>spite the fact she is no longer the only<br />
dog in the home she is also pleased, at the same time, to have resurrected her role as leader of the pack, as<br />
she was in <strong>De</strong>nmark.<br />
I confess that I love my dogs and yes, they are all spoiled. I used to play dress up with our dogs when I was<br />
growing up and as it was pointed out to me recently, I still am today. Each dog has their own rain coat, winter<br />
coat and boots. <strong>The</strong>n as girls will want to do, Mercedes and I go shopping together in her doggy stroller.<br />
Scruffy doesn’t mind the stroller, but he is not really into it being a guy’s guy and Bear has not been<br />
introduced to this experience at this time. Mercedes, however, sits in the stroller like the little princess she is<br />
and quite enjoys all the admirers she attracts. That is as long as they admire her from a distance. Flattened<br />
hair is so unbecoming to her…..<br />
Well, that about it other than I am also learning how to groom and show these dogs. Having grown up and<br />
being used to working dogs it is really a very different experience. Nonetheless, I find it relaxing and I am<br />
really glad I took the bait to become a foster mom to my Kids. This is a wonderful breed that has<br />
unconditionally won my heart. Well I had best get going. I have two boys sitting patiently looking at me with a<br />
toy in each of their mouths wanting to play toss and fetch with me…duty calls.

We wish everyone all the best for 2011.<br />

New Member: Gloria Gray<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Coton</strong> <strong>Malgache</strong> Volume 11 Issue 1<br />
Gloria Gray lives in Haliburton, Ontario which she says is truly “God’s country” and where she met the first<br />
love of her life and soul mate, Rick. Here’s how Gloria came to meet another love of her life, her <strong>Coton</strong>,<br />
Timothy:<br />
Now my love was always Bichons. While up at a garden center one day, a lady told me of the <strong>Coton</strong>s. She<br />
also told me of Karen Black, the breeder, so I studied the line first and remembered I had groomed a <strong>Coton</strong><br />
while I lived in Cornwall where I was taught to how to groom dogs. This beautiful little boy came right to me<br />
as soon as I met all of Karen’s little darlings, and proceeded to sit on my lap the whole time and it was my<br />
second love at first sight (Rick being the first). Timothy, the <strong>Coton</strong>, was almost 4 months old when I got him<br />
as a play mate for Mindy my Bichon. I am still learning a lot about this line from other breeders. Karen holds<br />
the breeding right to Timothy. Although one day I may wish to show and possibly breed , it will have to be<br />
with another dog. However, my little boy and I play and enjoy each other every single day together.

Payzac Nina Ricci's Trip to Oklahoma<br />
Submitted by Joanne Mouryas, Payzac Kennel<br />
At the end of June in 2006 I made the long trip to Alicante,<br />
Spain to pick up my wonderful boy Caton of Woodland<br />
Cottage. A lady named Brenda from Oklahoma had also come<br />
for Caton's two sisters, Meisie and Ceilie. Brenda and I met in<br />
Spain and since then have become good friends. In late 2007,<br />
Brenda became sick and could no longer take care of her three<br />
<strong>Coton</strong>s, Caton's two sisters and a little stud named <strong>Coton</strong>nerie<br />
Marquis <strong>De</strong> Bronson who had come to live with them one<br />
month after her trip to Spain. I offered to take the three dogs<br />
so Brenda and her 71 year old friend Margaret drove for four<br />
days from Oklahoma to Toronto to bring me her precious<br />
babies. Since then whenever one of my girls would give birth<br />
to a Bronson baby, Brenda would say that she would love to<br />
take one. She often told me that she was living her dream<br />
through me since she was not able to breed the loveable<br />
<strong>Coton</strong>.<br />
On Monday, Nina Ricci, Bronson's little daughter made the long<br />
trip home from Toronto to Oklahoma to her new mama and<br />
papa. Brenda could not travel so she sent her groomer Crystal<br />
to pick up little Nina. Nina slept in a pink Sherpa bag<br />
underneath the seat on two different planes and did not make<br />
a peep. Brenda emailed me a note right after Crystal dropped<br />
Above: Crystal & Nina<br />
her off. Her email read, 'Nina has arrived and she is<br />
perfect! She is the most beautiful little girl that I have ever<br />
seen." Two days later she wrote, "We realized today that Nina didn't come from Canada, but she came<br />
straight from HEAVEN!"<br />
Nina has a 10 year old Bichon brother<br />
named Marceau and a three year old<br />
<strong>Coton</strong> sister named Hannah. Both have<br />
welcomed her with open paws. Brenda<br />
has sent me many photos and you<br />
cannot see the floor for all the<br />
toys. Nina has made herself at home.<br />

Ode to the dogs from Christophe Guidon<br />
I had always disliked dogs. Big, small, brown, fluffy, my neighbour's husky howling all week-end long … I<br />
especially questioned their reliability after being bitten by one of my friend's dog (which I still picture in my<br />
mind as having the size and the shape of a white lion). And of course, to me, they lost all comparisons to the<br />
self-maintenance, mice-catcher and lovingly purring cats.<br />
Hence my hesitations when I was invited 1½ years ago to spend the week-end at the Prayal-Brown's.<br />
My mind was quick at doing the maths; two breeds = … I'm gonna be surrounded by dogs !! Word of my<br />
phobia was transmitted to the hostess, Marie-France, and arrangements were made for my arrival: only one<br />
coton would be allowed near me at all time. <strong>The</strong> welcome was warm, the dog (adequately named Surprise)<br />
polite: no barking, no drooling, just wanting to be patted and to sit on my lap. That, I could handle!<br />
Coincidentally (or was it really ?) there also was a little space in the living-room with a recent litter: six cute<br />
little puppies trying to cuddle and bite my finger. My week-end was most enjoyable and rendezvous was taken<br />
for me to come back and try to handle more dogs.

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Coton</strong> <strong>Malgache</strong> Volume 11 Issue 1<br />
And everything went upwards from this moment on. During my following visits, my tolerance to dogs (which<br />
quickly became my eagerness to be close to them) soared. First the rest of the cotons (Fine !). <strong>The</strong>n the largersized<br />
Polonais (Easy for me !). Even the massive Doberman when going to dinner at their friend's (Piece of<br />
cake !).<br />
Looking back on these events, I know this was a defining moment, a turning point for me. <strong>The</strong>se dogs were<br />
calm, relaxing, cheerful, always happy to see you, begging for pats or food left-overs from your plate. No<br />
wonder they are used for therapy sessions: they can bring you in a state of serenity and happiness by their sole<br />
proximity.<br />
I am utterly thankful to<br />
Marie-France and her<br />
daughter Sophie for<br />
introducing me to such nice<br />
creatures as well as helping<br />
me overcome my phobia: I<br />
can now foresee myself as a<br />
potential dog-owner.<br />

<strong>The</strong> other night, as usual in my house, 8:00 p.m. means that the “teenagers “ are all going to bed with their last<br />
outside visit and then into their crates with a cookie. Vega is older and stays up later with us to watch TV. Ceasar<br />
Millan is her favourite program!<br />
All is going well, a few praises, one teeth cleaning cookie and I close the light. A few minutes later, Tulea who is now 6<br />
months old, starts to cry… one of these little cries that goes straight to your heart and makes you want to run back to<br />
immediately and hug her. But I know better.<br />
I waited a long 5 minutes and decided that because she is still young, maybe she needs to go back for another wee<br />
wee. I saw her drink a lot of water at dinner time. I go back to my room and pick Tulea up without saying anything…<br />
Idon't want this to become a bad habit. Once outside, Tulea looks at me with her deep round eyes, and for sure she<br />
doesn’t need to go again. So back to the room and good night AGAIN.<br />
As soon as I closed the door, Tulea starts crying again. This time I tell myself that Tulea is becoming very spoiled and it<br />
is "all my fault"! So I stick to my guns, and wait 5 minutes, then another 3 minutes. All of a sudden, I jump up and say<br />
to Jacob my husband: "Now I think<br />
I know how smart Tulea really is!!!<br />
I go back to the room, open the door and I give Tulea "ONE COOKIE" and one only to her… and not to Keano and Flora!<br />
I leave the room, close the door, AND NOT A<br />
WORD. SILENCE IS BACK!<br />
When I first put the dogs in their crates, I<br />
ONLY had two cookies left in my doggy<br />
bag . Tulea was digging into her blanket and<br />
did not care (or so I thought!) about her<br />
USUAL COOKIE. So I did not give her<br />
one…..so here is the conclusion to this<br />
story. My little Tulea knows exactly what<br />
she wants out of life and I can never let her<br />
down. I could end up in the middle of a dog<br />
revolution, complete anarchy or only God<br />
knows what…because let's face it - our<br />
<strong>Coton</strong>s de <strong>Tulear</strong> have very high IQ and they<br />
want justice!!!<br />
Diane Benaroch gives the very smart and<br />
fair-minded Tulea a big kiss!

American <strong>Coton</strong> de <strong>Tulear</strong> Association 2010 Specialty<br />
By Diane Benaroch<br />
On <strong>De</strong>cember 11, 2010, we were invited by the American Cotton <strong>De</strong> <strong>Tulear</strong> Association to participate in their National<br />
<strong>Coton</strong> de <strong>Tulear</strong> Specialty in Bellevue, Washington. Since this Specialty was being organized by my friend Beverly<br />
Kohler (and others), how could we not take part in this event? Beverly has shown her beautiful <strong>Coton</strong>s in Canada and<br />
she has demonstrated such enthusiasm towards our breed.<br />
We left in the dark of the night on Saturday for our first journey to the USA. I brought my whole family including my<br />
sister Helene (visiting from Montreal) and my 5 months old female “<strong>Coton</strong>field Flora.” We had no idea how long it<br />
would take and leaving the dogs at home is out of the question for us.<br />
After a two-hour drive, we finally arrived at the Embassy Suites Hotel. <strong>The</strong> first thing I noticed as we walked into the<br />
hotel was the thick light carpet! How my 7 month old Keano and my 5 month old puppies would love to believe that<br />
these carpets are part of their playground!<br />
As we walked into the ballroom where the event was being held, we were immediately greeted by Patricia Enright,<br />
Diane Rinella, <strong>De</strong>bbie Nemrow and, of course Beverly. We received the program and lots of smiles and found a spot in<br />
the corner. Many USA champions where coming and I felt that this event was perhaps “beyond” us.<br />
<strong>The</strong> morning went on in a very friendly atmosphere. Coffee, dog stories, hand-shakes and laughter quickly filled the<br />
room. Jessica Smith, my handler had left the last CKC show to come and help me. I showed my 7 month old<br />
“Cattledrivers Keano” and Jessica showed Ch. <strong>Coton</strong>nerie Vega.<br />
Prior to the event, the main focus is “BRUSHING” which keeps my dogs calm and helps with my anxiety! We practiced<br />
a little back and forth in the hallway of the hotel before going into the ring. We had brought our huge <strong>Coton</strong> poster from<br />
Canada. <strong>The</strong> hotel guests would stop and say “Oh wow, what kind of dogs are these?”<br />

<strong>The</strong> rules of the show were explained to us and we all<br />
appreciated that. <strong>The</strong> tension is climbing! Dr. Vandra L.<br />
Huber arrived for the class at 10:00 am. A very elegant lady<br />
indeed with a marvelous smile. All went very well and I am<br />
very proud to say that Vega won the Best of Breed. My little<br />
Cattledrivers Castle Keano won because he was the only<br />
puppy. Just the same, he did such a good job and stayed<br />
focused through the whole class. I was so happy for Beverly<br />
Kohler who won Best Male with Ch. Clousseau. We had<br />
never received such a pretty Orange Rosette and also two<br />
huge bags of gifts from the ACTA CLUB. We can ad a<br />
“BISS” to my <strong>Canadian</strong> Champion <strong>Coton</strong>nerie Vega.<br />
We would like to thank the ACTA CLUB for their hard work<br />
and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors. I<br />
think that we can all be very proud of our <strong>Canadian</strong>-bred<br />
<strong>Coton</strong>s de <strong>Tulear</strong>.<br />
