What a dog's life
The Coton de Tulear is a member of the Bichon [pronounced "BEE-shawn"] family of dogs. The Bichons are descendents of an ancient European breed, the Barbet. A small, short-haired descendent of the Barbet, the "Bichon Tenerife," was introduced to the Canary Islands by the Spanish. The Tenerife gave rise to the modern, Mediterranean Maltese, the French Petit Lion Dog and Bichon Frise, the Italian Bolognese, the South American Havanais, and the Coton de Tulear.
The Tenerife, now extinct was introduced to the Indian Ocean Islands of Mauritius and reunion by sailors in the 16th centuries. The breed acquired a long, cotton -like coat (perhaps the result of a single mutation) and was known as the "Coton de Reunion." The Coton de Reunion, a valued possession accompanied merchants, officials and pirates on their voyages.
