Breed history
The Cotondoodle (Cotonpoo), often called the Cotonpoo or Coton Poodle, is a beloved breed with a rich history.
The Cotondoodle is a modern companion cross developed by breeding the Coton de Tulear with a Poodle, likely beginning in the late 20th to early 21st century. The goal was to combine the Coton’s affectionate, easygoing temperament with the Poodle’s intelligence and low-shedding coat. While not a recognized purebred, the Cotondoodle has grown in popularity among families and individuals seeking a small, friendly, and trainable companion dog. As a mixed breed, appearance and temperament can vary, even within the same litter.
