The Coton is a friendly, appealing little dog, and can make an excellent family dog with children old enough to understand that they are not a toy or plaything. Their care and exercise requirements are not time consuming to meet and they should fit well into most homes, though very busy, chaotic homes may find this feeds the Coton’s alert, vocal nature a little too much.
While many dogs are traditionally thought of as being good with children, all dogs and children need to be taught to get on with and respect each other, and be safe together. Even so, dogs and young children should never be left alone together and adults should supervise all interactions between them.
