PostHeaderIcon Tell eBay to shut down all live animal sales immediately:

Sign the Petition
From Change.org:
"Puppy mills" are large-scale commercial operations where dozens of dogs are kept in small cages for their entire lives, forced to give birth to litter after litter until they're no longer fertile, at which point they're usually killed. Puppy mills are unsafe, inhumane, and produce thousands of puppies with serious health problems every year.
Now, puppy mills have found a national vendor: eBay.
A few years ago, eBay had plans to sell animals via online auction. Responsible breeders would never sell dogs via online auction, so this would have resulted in the site becoming a haven for puppy mills. eBay users and anti-cruelty activists spearheaded -- and won -- the fight to prevent eBay from selling live animals.
But now all that's changed. 
Despite eBay's claims that it "do[es] not condone unethical treatment of animals," eBay now allows puppy mills to sell dogs in its classified section.
Puppy mill dogs spend their entire lives in small wire cages, without companionship, and often without vet care, exercise or shelter from the elements. As far as puppy mill owners are concerned, the dogs have one purpose: to supply the pet trade.
The USDA recently admitted that they’ve failed to effectively monitor commercial breeders and puppy mills. When it comes to sites like eBay Classifieds, it’s even worse: Breeders who sell directly to customers online aren’t subject to any USDA regulations.
The best chance we have to shut down puppy mills is to hold vendors accountable.

Thanks for taking action,
Judith and the Change.org Team

PostHeaderIcon Cedarwood Cotons New Boy: "Nico"

This is my darling little "Nico", my new Show/Breed Potential male puppy from my good friend, Dorthe in Denmark. His official name is Glerup's Heart's Desire and he's a real dear! His Father is Jespersen's Chili Pepper, (Breeder: Brigitte Jespersen- Denmark) his Mother is Flamencoton's Andalucia (Breeder: Rie Satsuki- Spain). He loves to play with EVERYONE! All my Cotons love him. His two favorites are my own Amelie who is just about his size, and "Uncle Momo" (Cotonnerie Mathis). Nico loves to chase and tumble and wrestle with Amelie and play Coton soccer with "Uncle Momo." I'm certainly hoping that little Nico will pass all his health tests and become a nice stud male for me. He has a wonderful disposition, is very affectionate and a real cuddler at night. AND he isn't related to any of my other Cotons at all! Hooray!
Here you see him suggling up into the pillows on my bed.

PostHeaderIcon UPDATE: Coton de Tulear FOUND!!!

UPDATE:  Sierra, the lost Coton de Tulear dog in Snowmass, Colorado has been reunited with her owner Kris Forke.  
Sierra is back safe and sound! She is full of stick tights/cockle burrs and her back nails have been worn down to the quick. She was found quite a ways away from home running down a county road, running in the tire tracks during the snow storm. A rancher recognized she didn’t belong out there and took her to the Aspen shelter. Thank God!
Miracles do happen! I want to thank each and every one of you who prayed and sent me a message. I will respond to each of you when I can.
Prayers and thoughts do work and I appreciate each and every one of them. Many people were very helpful by spreading the word, and I’m humbled by your efforts. I know the Coton community can be very divided at times but when a Coton’s life is in danger I know we all rally for the cause. And I love you all for that!
Now I have a grooming job to do on Sierra and hope I don’t need to shave her to the skin.
Thank you so much,
Kris
Old Snowmass Cotons


This is wonderful news and we are all so happy for Kris and Sierra!!!

PostHeaderIcon Important Information on Blue Buffalo Dog Food

A team of researchers at Michigan State University has discovered a group of illnesses reported in dogs across the country is linked to a specific brand of dog food from the Blue Buffalo Co.

Veterinarians from across the country recently began sending samples from dogs with elevated levels of calcium in their blood to MSU’s Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health, director Carole Bolin said. The sick dogs had increased thirst and urination, and some of them also suffered weight loss, loss of appetite and signs of kidney damage.

Congratulations to the ACC Photo Contest Winners!
First Place went to Laura Esau of Glen Meadow Cotons with this funny picture of Cotons at play. She obviously snapped the camera at the right moment to capture the moment of puppy ambush.


The 2nd place award went to Marilyn Kolenski of Sandcastle Coton de Tulear for submitting this sweet photo of a Coton puppy raising their paws to say aloha.

Thanks to everyone who submitted photos to the ACC Photo Contest and we look forward to more photo sharing in the future. We were very impressed with all the photos and hope everyone had fun sharing their Cotons with the entire world!
