The Coton de Tulear, also known as the ‘royal dog of Madagascar’, it is a long-established breed that takes its name from Tulear, a port town on the island’s southwest coast. It is said that in the 15th century several Bichon-type dogs from Tenerife survived a pirate shipwreck and swam to Tulear, where they interbred with local terriers, resulting in the Coton de Tulear. It became a very popular dog in the royal homes, so much so that a law was published that prohibited having this breed to anyone who did not belong to the nobility of Madagascar.
