(Questions marked with an asterisk * are required)

This questionnaire allows us to become acquainted with prospective Coton familes. This is not an application for a puppy but is a starting point of communication between you and the breeder.
To ensure my puppies find their true responsible, conscientious, forever families, we are selective about who may adopt one of our precious puppies. Thoughtful insightful responses are appreciated.
