Animal Planet's "Dogs 101" would like to feature the Coton de Tulear in an upcoming season and they need a unique "storyline" to include in their program. They're looking for a human interest story abou the breed that goes beyond the show dogs, therapy dogs or breeder stories. The "story" needs to be interesting and visually appealing. Please check out this link:

Subject: Thank you from The HSUS puppy mills campaign

Dear Mr Hiskes,

I am writing to thank you for posting the update about the Petland lawsuit on your Blog last week, and especially to thank you for your support of our efforts to combat puppy mills and also for being a humane breeder!

The HSUS wholeheartedly supports responsible dog breeders, we publish several guides for the public to help them find and identify a good dog breeder, including our Puppy Buyer’s Guide and our Good Breeder Checklist. These are available for free on our website or by mail. You can see the Puppy Buyer’s Guide at http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/puppy_mills/tips/finding_good_dog_breeder.html%20and%20download%20our%20Good%20Breeder%20Checklist%20at%20http://www.humanesociety.org/assets/pdfs/pets/puppy_mills/how_find_good_dog_breeder.pdf
The more good breeders that start coming forward to say “I am against puppy mills,” and say it loudly and proudly, we have an even greater chance at helping the animals in the facilities providing substandard care!

If you would like to know more about our work with breeders, please do not hesitate to contact me. We would be delighted to stay in touch with you!

Sincerely,

Beau

Lawsuit against Petland Proceeds in Arizona

Lawsuit against Petland-Please read

Good news for the fight against puppymills and petstores!

ACC says NO AKC!

Before you consider the purchase of a "Coton" puppy for $600, $800, $1200, or even $1800 or more from a pet store, commercial kennel, a large scale breeder, or a broker who offers you a puppy "imported from Eastern Europe with championship bloodlines", read the following very important messages from http://www.prisonersofgreed.org/ and http://www.stoppuppymills.org/

For further links and information visit the UCARE (United Coton de Tulear Association for Rescue and Education) web site at http://www.cotonrescue.us/and talk to the people who see firsthand the condition and care of Cotons and other breeds in the puppymills. These puppymills, also called "large volume breeders", are the source of pet store dogs. The dogs are shipped across the country in large trucks stacked to the ceiling with crates containing puppies. Sometimes these puppies are torn away from their mothers before they are weaned. The puppies that survive are cleaned up to make them presentable in the pet stores.
You can make a difference! The puppymills feed the pet stores. No reputable breeder ever places puppies in a pet store to be sold to someone they haven't carefully interviewed. If the pet stores in your home town sell puppies, kittens and other live animals, don't shop at that pet store and let the owner know why. Write to your local newspaper, find other concerned people through your local humane society, picket the pet store and find other ways to let them know their business will improve if they stop selling puppies. Join the growing number of pet lovers throughout the U.S. Counties like Santa Cruz and Santa Clara in California have convinced pet stores, including chains like Pet Smart, that it is not smart to sell puppies. If the pet stores stop selling puppies, the puppymillers will go out of business. Pet stores are their major outlet.

No AKC for Renaissance Coton de Tulear

Please read ACC breeder Lynn Baron's of Renaissance Cotons opinion on why the AKC would be bad for our beloved breed, she makes many very valuable points.
