About the Coton Eskimo
The Coton Eskimo is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the American Eskimo Dog and the Coton De Tulear. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Coton Eskimo is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.
