"Mia is my little princess from Cindaires Coton de Tulear.

​

When I found out Claire and David were going to have puppies, I knew it would be the best choice to have another Coton from them.  You could tell that the welfare of the puppies was the most important thing to them and that they were determined to find the perfect, loving homes for the pups.

​

Throughout the process, we visited the puppies twice. During our first visit, I loved the idea of introducing all the adult dogs in the grooming room first, getting to know Claire, David and Mia's parents without the excitement of meeting the puppies for the first time too.  It created a really welcoming atmosphere and was a lovely precursor to meeting the babies, as we got to meet all the dogs individually.  

​

The house and garden were perfectly prepared for the puppies. There was a huge puppy pen with lots of toys for playing and stimulation, and even artificial grass.  During our second visit, we were able to spend time outside and similarly, the puppies had a large, shaded play pen with toys and fun obstacles. The hygiene and disinfections were likewise impeccable.  Everything was incredibly clean and we were asked to protect our feet and disinfect our hands before handling the puppies, which was a vital step I really appreciated.  During our visits, we saw how the puppies interacted with each other, Mum and Dad, the other dogs and even observed feeding times.  On the latter, the puppies were fed a raw, high standard complete food, which I really liked.

 

Claire and David also worked hard on Mia's socialisation before she even came home.  During that period, Mia met other dogs (when it was safe of course), visited a farm, was taught to go to the toilet, was bathed, brushed, and her nails were clipped.  She was also progressively prepared to sleep away from her sibling in a crate, which helped her later in her new home with us.  Since bringing her home, we have never had any toilet accidents and she has never cried during the night.

 

From the very beginning to the last day, we were well informed by text, photos and videos, on how she was doing and the new things she was learning. Likewise, general communications from Claire were also detailed and timely and all our questions were always answered with great care and consideration.  Still, the communication, advice and help is amazing. I know I can ask any question and Claire will answer it with full knowledge and research.  In the same vein, we were also invited for a Coton walk when Mia was 6 months old which was so nice to see Claire and David again.

 

Deciding to have a puppy from Cindaires is the best choice for any prospective dog owner.  Not only are you assured that your puppy is well taken care of, healthy (as Cindaires uses leading research, years of expertise, and performs more tests than any other breeder, to ensure puppy health and welfare), but you are also able to connect with other people with Cotons.  They are truly like Mia's 'godparents' in that regard and I respect Cindaires huge knowledge and constant positive attitude.  I will always remember Claire's valuable words to me "I am always here for you".  ​Thank you so so much xxx"
