Our sweet girl just graduated from Basic Manners today! Thanks to my very special trainer-in-training, Picardy has a nice extended stay and sit, walks politely on a leash, knows how to do puppy push-ups, and knows how to “drop” or “leave it”. Next up…Canine Good Citizen!

To all my puppy families and friends:

Please be aware that this group was created by scammers. They have stolen pictures from my page and posted them as puppies available for sale. Most of you will recognize the group’s cover page as a photo of my boy Tempo with pups from my last litter. Pketer’s profile is one of my puppy families. That’s my granddaughter and daughter with Tempo. Not only are they scamming people, they’re also posting pics of children without parental permission. Please do not join this group and please report them to Facebook.

Sweet William, now known as Kodak, is the last of the double litters to be featured because we were waiting on these special photos to come back from the photographer. This is what his family wrote to honor him on his first birthday:

Kodak - - We fell in love with you when we saw you for the first-time last October. You have accomplished so much during your 1st year – had your 1st Christmas, 1st airplane trip to Key West to see the Ocean, graduated from three training classes, and 1st Day Care (trust me, mommy was as nervous as you). You are the sweetest boy in the world and the most handsome one in the neighbor (everyone adores you when they see you) 😊 You have given us so much comfort and happiness. All the worries are gone when I see your bright eyes or beautiful face! Continue to eat well, sleep well, and play well every day! We are so fortunate to have you in our lives. Love you so much!

They each have their own , but Tempo insists on having ALL of them!

April, now known as Meli, is a city gal! Her family writes:

Meli is doing great. This Friday she finished a 3 week agility course and she picked up on all the skills really quickly, and just loved it. We will be continuing with Agility II classes in a couple of weeks. She also just spent an overnight with my cousin’s children and she was “a rockstar”. The youngest child unfortunately has a fear of canines after being attacked by a rabid fox, but by a few hours she was petting Meli, walking her, and giving her treats!

Agnes became Lainey and she’s living her best life as a beach bum! Her dad writes:

Hi, well here is Lainey at one year. She is all a Coton is supposed to be and more! Thank you for the pre work on her giving me a challenge for maybe 5 months as she matured. We love her! Thanks again!

We’re so glad our sweet boy Hank kept his name AND remained local! Here’s what his family had to say about him:

Hank has swagger. He doesn’t walk, he prances; he doesn’t jump, he leaps. He’s the most playful and loving dog we’ve ever had. Hank loves his toys and he fetches too (we had a Golden before who never fetched)! He is the heartbeat of our family. The joy he brings is boundless. 💕

The last to go home was Sally, now known as Callie. Her people write:

Callie's first year has been full of fun, shenanigans and anxiety! She loves car rides and going to the bank on Friday with her dad to do payroll where she gets her own "bag of money" aka dog bones.
A beautiful, loving and adventurous little girl who likes to climb on the kitchen table when no one is looking and eats checks paid to her daddy's company written in large amounts! That's the new version of my dog ate my homework! She found a one-day old baby bunnies' nest and "stole" one and ran around the yard with it in her mouth playing keep away! Thank God we were able to get it back to its nest and it survived. All in all, Callie has been a joy and a great addition to our family. She is now AKC Canine Good Citizen certified. Callie is just loved by everyone she meets. Thank you, Jennifer, for being such an amazing Coton breeder. You are a special part of our family too.

Duchess of Fitiavanna, aka Iris. Her family writes:

🎉 Happy 1st Birthday, Tia! 🎉

Tia, our pint-sized duchess who reigns supreme over the Aussies in our household. Though she may be small, Tia’s personality is larger than life!

Favorite Pastime: This little lady absolutely loves playing in the water (pools/tubs/irrigation/sprinklers), splashing around with pure joy.

Interests: Tia’s days are filled with birds, birds, butterflies and leaf chasing, exploring the property, soaking up belly rubs, and giving endless kisses to those she loves.

Tricks: Tia is a clever pup, while she’s still perfecting her moves, she delights us with her high five, low five, rollover, and perfect circles to the right and left.

Tia dreams of joining her Aussie brothers as a working dog. She’s already a great help, feeding our sheep and cows daily, and she has a knack for getting ahold of my gloves!

A perfect blend of posh elegance and rustic ranch glamour, Tia has stolen all our hearts. Thank you, Jennifer, for blessing us with this wonderful bundle of joy. Our love and adoration for Tia are beyond words. 💕

Here’s to many more fun-filled years with our darling Tia! Happy 1st Birthday!🎂🐾❤️

Rounding out the celebration of Dottie’s first litter is DJ, now known as Gus! His family writes:

He loves to sit on the back of the couch and play in the hose. He loves to cuddle and of course loves attention!

Disco was such a perfect name for this puppy so we were delighted when the family decided to keep it! Here’s an update tgey sent about their beloved family member:

Disco is enjoying life in central PA with our family of four kids - he is a guy who knows and LOVES his people:) One of our daughters likes to set up little obstacle courses that he runs and jumps his way through, and he also likes to be the lifeguard of our pool! Our girls have been teaching him how to swim from one side to the other - one day he was running and took a misstep and fell in, and knew to swim to the shallow side on his own so he could get out! This week, he is enjoying his first trip to the beach - he has loved having all his people (including grandparents!) around to spoil him and enjoyed romping in the sand with his kids!

Happy 1st birthday to Callie x Jasper’s Johnny Flynn litter. This was the first time we had a double litter, providing us with some wonderful experiences! April, Iris, Sweet William, Hank, Agnes, and Sally will all have their own features next week!

Boogie was a rough and tumble with a heart of gold tri-color pup. His family writes:

Wynnstan (aka Boogie) is the most handsome fella and a handful to keep up with. If he gets quiet and you don’t see him no telling where he is or what he is in to. If he doesn’t come to Wynnstan, holler loud for “Boogie” and he usually shows up under your feet with those big eyes asking “Hey! Do I see something there in your hand?” He has light blonde ears with silver tips that I believe his Mom gave him. Thank you so much for making this little man a part of our lives!!

Our sweet Tempo! We loved him dearly from the beginning and thought he’d make a wonderful companion for a family up north. Things didn’t work out the way we hoped and he made his way back to us. He’s our lovable clown, mischievous teenager, and the best puppy nanny we could have hoped for!

When you’re trying to master a new skill (automatic sit beside you inside of in front of you), but your butt just won’t stay still!

Training serves so many purposes…helps to make your puppy/dog feel secure because they learn what kind of behaviors are desired/expected, provides mental stimulation, and is a great opportunity to have fun and bond with your companion! Pick a trainer who loves working with animals, uses only positive reinforcement, understands the psychology behind dog behaviors, and is willing to share their knowledge so you can do the work at home. If you’re local, there’s no one better than the team at @dogsandkattraining. I’ve been taking classes with them for almost 9 years and I learn something new every time I go! #malagasycoton #mcpcbreeder #malagasycotonpreservationclub #bestdogever #positivereinforcementtraining

Best $20 bucks I’ve ever spent in a puppy toy! She plays with it for 45 minutes at a time, 2-3x/day!

Sound desensitization continues for the pups who are being picked up a little later. Today’s sound: tornado siren.

Getting for Adventure, Part 1

Part 1 It’s ridiculously hot so we can’t take the pups outside and they need lots of mental stimulation at this age so we created a more advanced treat trail/sniffy adventure for them.

Morning activity…treat trail! Treats are hidden all around and the pups are busy sniffing them out! #malagasycotonpreservationclub #bestdogever #mcpcbreeder #embarktested #cotondetulear #puppiesavailable #malagasycoton #puppiesofinstagram #raisedwithpuppyculture #puppyculturerockstars

Callie’s litter meeting our wonderful trainer, Kat Martin for temperament evaluation today. They were rockstars thanks to Puppy Culture! #malagasycotonpreservationclub #bestdogever #mcpcbreeder #embarktested #cotondetulear #puppiesavailable #malagasycoton #puppiesofinstagram #raisedwithpuppyculture #puppyculturerockstars

Prudence is in fine form! #malagasycotonpreservationclub #bestdogever #mcpcbreeder #embarktested #cotondetulear #puppiesavailable #malagasycoton #puppiesofinstagram #raisedwithpuppyculture #hideandseek

It’s been a busy couple of days with Dottie’s litter getting their first vaccines with Dr Cruz yesterday and then to see Kat Martin for temperament evaluation. I’ve been her client for years and greatly value her opinion on how to help my pups be the best pups they can be. Her knowledge, compassion, and joy in teaching people how to understand and train their dogs with positive reinforcement techniques has led to her being named the best trainer in Nashville for 5 years running. #malagasycotonpreservationclub #bestdogever #mcpcbreeder #embarktested #cotondetulear #puppiesavailable #malagasycoton #puppiesofinstagram #raisedwithpuppyculture #puppyculturerockstars
