HISTORY
Bear
Manor Cotons is a Code
of Ethics breeder with the American Coton Club (http://www.cotondogs.com).
Gail Lash has been in the breed since 1976 when
the first dogs came
from Madagascar with Dr.Jay Russell. In 1992, she acquired two females
from Europe to mate with Cesar of Alika Cotons and the rest is
history!
Now, with her husband Nevin, the Lashes have bred a variety of
litters
with other Malagasy lines. Their current litter is from the mating of
ARBA
Champion Omar of Bear Manor with Ariel of Bear Manor. Four
generations
of Coton de Tulear live together in their Victorian home in historic
Grant
Park, downtown Atlanta, Georgia.
We feed
the dogs raw meaty
bones, fresh organ meats and fish from the farmer's market, and
have
had great success with their health and happiness. We have been
learning
canine health, vaccines and nutrition from our wonderful, holistic
veterinarian Dr.
Kimberly Parker (http://www.kimparkerdvm.com)
and our reproductive vet, Dr. Rebecca Kestle of Centre Court Veterinary
Clinic. Our dogs and pups are very well taken care of. For
