A TiaCotons Coton de Tuléar puppy is priceless! If you are considering a Coton de Tuléar puppy from TiaCotons these are the steps in the placement process:
Step 1: A telephone interview will help us learn more about you and your desire to have one of our Coton de Tuléar puppies join your family. After the telephone interview we will let you know if you qualify for the next step.
Step 2: We want to have a clear understanding of the kind of puppy you desire. We have a questionnaire form that can be downloaded from our web site. We ask that you put some thought into answering the questions and e-mail the questionnaire back to us. The questionnaire helps us match our puppies personalities to your lifestyle. We ask that you read and agree to the conditions in our pet/companion Coton de Tuléar contract. A sample copy of the contract can be downloaded from our web site for your review and if you agree to our terms then the next step, if you are able, is a visit to our home.
Step 3: Come for a visit. We encourage all members of the family to come for the visit. If we all agree to a placement of one of our Coton de Tuléar puppies with you then you will be given a deposit agreement and we will go over the pet/companion contract at that time. It is our responsibility to place our puppies in homes where they will be wanted and loved. If you are happy with your puppy then your puppy will be happy with you. Your deposit is fully and promptly refunded if you are not happy with the puppy chosen for you. Because we are breeding to add a show/breedable Coton prospect to our lines, we retain first option on ANY of the puppies.
Step 4: You will be notified one week after the litter has been born. Our web site is updated weekly with new pictures of our puppies. Your puppy is handled by us as soon as he/she is born and on a daily basis from the time of birth. Your puppy associates human touch as something pleasant before opening his/her eyes. We start the "Super Dog Program" after the third day of birth and continue the program until the sixteenth day after birth. When the puppies are four weeks of age we expose them to many different types of stimulation, surfaces, sights and sounds. The puppies spend the day in our kitchen area where they experience the normal noises of our home. At five weeks of age they are going for rides in our car, in their crates, so they will adjust to car rides easily when they go to their homes. We work on crate training at eight weeks of age. From the time the puppies are able to eliminate on their own we work on potty training to pee pads, grass and pea gravel so your puppy will be comfortable eliminating on different types of surfaces. At eight weeks of age the puppies practice walking on lead. They also enjoy playing outside on the agility equipment we have for them. I have been a child care provider for thirty years and the older children I take care of during the day love to help teach the puppies to go through the tunnels and the tire jump in our backyard.
Our adult Cotons are fed high quality dog food. We feed our adult Cotons "Taste of the Wild" dog food. Our Cotons eat all three formulas of "Tast of the Wild" dog food - Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream Formula with Smoked Salmon, the Wild Wetlands Canine Formula with Roasted Wild Fowl and the High Prairie Canine Formula with Roasted Bison and Roasted Venison. We follow a rotation diet with the above food on a monthly basis. Taste of the Wild dog food is grain free. We also feed "Natural Balance" dog food to our dogs.
Some different treats we feed our Cotons are Natural Balance Dog Treats, Caster and Pollux Organic Chicken Dog Treats, Nature's Logic Canine Treats, Liver Biscotti, No Wheat, Belly Rubs Dog Treats, Flossies, carrot sticks and goat milk yogurt.
A supplement I add a few times a week to my adult Cotons food is called - ShowStopper.
We use "Petz Life" Oral Spray or Gel in our Cotons mouths to help fight plaque. Leba lll is another product that helps fight plaque. We also sprinkle Wysong Denta Treat powder on our Cotons food to help fight plaque.
Our goal is to breed responsibly and to raise happy, healthy, well-adjusted puppies.
Step 5: Payment for the puppy is due one week before the puppy is released to the puppy's new home.
Step 6: Puppies will be released to their new homes at ten weeks of age. If you will be traveling by air the puppy must travel with the owner in the cabin of the airplane. The travel bags for puppies that are prefered by Coton owners are found at the following web sites - http://www.sherpapet.com/ or http://www.sturdiproducts.com/4111/xcart/home.php
The parties agree that TiaCoton puppies will not be shipped by air or surface cargo and will be accompanied by a responsible adult when traveling.
Included in my contract - This Coton de Tuléar puppy is to be accompanied by a responsible adult in the passenger section of the airplane, bus or other conveyance during any transport throughout the lifetime of the dog.
