Cuddly Cotons ~ Coton De Tulear Breeder Located in Grand Rapids, Michigan

We highly recommend you, Linda Gogocha, as a breeder of Coton DeTulear puppies. Linda is very friendly and obviously loves what she does. After an initial e-mail and lengthy phone conversation, we decided to purchase a Coton puppy. Linda sent adorable photos and updates of our puppy until he was ready to go to his new home. When we met Linda, we found that she is as warm and as friendly as her puppies. The puppies are nurtured and well cared for, while receiving individual attention and love required to make a great pet. These pups are raised in a home atmosphere, are socialized to interact with other pets, family members and friends. Linda takes great pride in her dogs, ensuring they go to good homes. They are of champion bloodlines and vet treated. Linda is so focused on creating great beginnings that she created and provides an impressive list of quality puppy needs for her clients before the transition of taking a puppy home.

I stumbled upon Cotons while doing research on what type of dog to get our family. Everything I read about Cotons sounded like a dream dog. I was fortunate to find Linda who was extremely helpful during the process of purchasing Bella. Since I'd never seen a Coton nor knew anyone who had even heard of a Coton, Linda invited me out to visit her puppies. I was very impressed with how the adult dogs sat by us during my visit. Linda shared that is what Cotons do. They are very loyal to their owners and like to be by you. We decided to go ahead and get a puppy. I never dreamed that I'd spend the amount we did on a dog. After having Bella join our family and getting to know her, I'd spend the same amount all over again. Bella is the sweetest dog I have ever met. She is such a cuddler who is full of love. She loves being by us and smothers us with her kisses. She is such an intelligent dog who learns very quickly. Potty training came very easy for Bella. Kelly Bella

I am allergic to anything with four legs. Horses, cats, dogs - it doesn't matter. Within minutes of contact or even proximity, my eyes start to itch and water and my nose congests. However, my long-suffering wife loves and has always wanted a dog, so in late 2012 I began to research allegedly hypo-allergenic dogs, and stumbled on the cotons. I went back to my allergist with a sample of saliva from the puppy we picked out at Linda's, While I again tested positive to virtually every other known allergen, there was a surprisingly mild reaction to the puppy's saliva. So, we made the purchase, and Bailey has turned out to be perfect in every way. He is enthusiastic, loving, smart. gentle and quiet. He is not just hypo-allergenic, but truly non-allergenic! My only regret is that I waited so long to make this discovery. And Linda has been a joy to work with. The perfect dog, from the perfect breeder, for the perfect wife (of a man who previously did not like dogs)! Mark V. Perfect Dog In Every Way

For years I wanted to add a sweet dog to our loving family but we were never able to find a puppy that was the right fit for us. Summer of 2012 I finally decided to research breeders online. That is when I came across Cuddly Cotons and found Linda to be one of the friendliest most amazing dog lovers I have ever met. She was extremely helpful in my search for a puppy, she provided me with tons of information to help me with my decision to get a Honey Bear puppy. She was amazing and patient with my persistence of having to know everything that was going on from the pregnancy through the first eight weeks of life. Finally November 2012 our one true love puppy was born and came home with us January 2012. Snow has been an absolute joy. I mean I honestly knew she would be fantastic because of how amazing Linda is as a breeder. We feel that we are the luckiest family to have Snow in our lives. From her snuggles to her puppy kisses she brings us all so much joy. <3 Melissa ? Mommy to Snow msdobson02 Satisfied Mommy of Snow

"We have not had a dog for the last 17 years. We do have 3 cats. I searched for a while to find the perfect breed that would meet the requirements of our household - 1) not too big 2) not yippy like many of the smaller breeds, and 3) something that would get along well with our cats; even one that is extremely anxious. Linda patiently and calmly answered my questions and let us come out to visit the puppies on numerous occasions. During these puppy visits, we were able to observe the temperament of not only the puppies that were for sale, but the other older dogs as well. We've had comments from both the vet and groomer as to how well socialized our little Benson is. We'd really not had him out to socialize since he isn't through with all of his puppy vaccines yet. I attribute his great little personality whether it be around vacuums, other pets, or new people to the socialization he got from the time that he was born." Benson is a wonderful little guy.

My daughter and I highly recommend Linda if and when you are considering purchasing a Coton De Tulear. When we doing research on what breed we wanted to purchase, Linda was very prompt in answering all our questions and after we brought our little girl home, Linda stayed in contact to make sure everything was going well. We took our Khloe to our vet today as required in our purchase agreement and after thoroughly examining her ?he said he was very impressed with her calm demeanor?. Thank you Linda, Tracy and Willa Tracy and Willa Happy Coton Owner

We feel so blessed to have them. Thank you so much for what you do, we know it is alot of work but you give so much joy to people who want these type of dogs. We will send some one year old birthday pictures. Thanks, Alice Harley & Hayley Thank you for the great experience

After losing our 16 year old Wheaton terrier , we began researching for a new puppy and decided a Coton was just the breed for us. I spoke with or emailed several breeders before finding Linda who I knew from the moment I started talking to her her was going to be the one. From the time we put a deposit down on a puppy until the time we picked her up, Linda kept us informed and updated with news and pictures. We felt like we were a part of everything. When we went to Linda's house to select our puppy at 3 weeks we were greeted by a house full of beautiful, happy Cotons. Amazingly, the house was clean and Linda so calm. After that visit, we had pictures of our Lily sent weekly until we were to bring her home. She is our love and the center of our home now. If we were to get another puppy, I would go to Linda again. The experience was amazing. Nikki Ingber Nikki Ingber Very satisfied Mom

Hi Linda! I hope you had a great time at the holidays. We certainly did. Just wanted to send you a quick note on how Bailey is. She is doing so great. She is so good. I can't believe how calm she is at her age. We take her everywhere with us if we can, she is a great traveler. We absolutely love, love having her in our family. My husband just adores her. Haha. It's hilarious. The only issue I had is I took her to a groomer who absolutely butchered her. They gave her a bad poodle cut, It is just beginning to look good now. Thanks Linda for such a wonderful addition to our family! Brenda Bailey Our Coton de Tulear Love Her!
