All puppies are from parents who have completed the required CTCA health tests to be classified as breedable. Before going to their new homes, all puppies will have received two health exams, at seven and ten weeks of age, a certificate of health and their first two sets of vaccinations. Our contract includes a 12 month health guarantee, the seller agrees to replace the pup, should the puppy develop a serious (life impairing) genetic health defect within the first 12 months of life. New owners are to take the puppy to their own veterinarian right after delivery to verify the Great Lakes Cotons health report and to establish a relationship with the puppies new health care provider. The puppies leave for their forever homes when they are 10 weeks old. They will have been exposed to a variety of sights, sounds, smells and many new experiences. They will be taken for car rides, exposed to various noises, they will have played with children and adults of all ages and sizes. SOCIALIZATION Please note that the behavior of any given dog is based upon the dog's heredity and its environment. Poor early socialization can lead to problems for any dog of any breed. Please recognize that you will be the next step in this puppy's socialization and training. We believe early socialization is very important and require first time Coton puppy owners to enroll their puppy in a puppy socialization/training class. When training our Cotons we use only positive training methods. |

Please contact me before submitting my puppy application. If you would like to add one of our puppies to your family, the first step is a phone interview. I will answer any questions you might have.

I DO NOT SHIP MY PUPPIES There could be a flight delay or worse, the plane could be diverted to another airport. Puppies may be picked up from our home, or we will meet you at either of Chicago's airports; O'hare International (ORD) or Midway (MDW) or another mutually agreed upon location. Puppies can be carried on an airplane in an airline approved carrier under the seat in front of you. Continental Airlines reported 40 animal deaths during transport in 2009, the highest number among U.S. carriers. American was second, with 28 deaths; followed in the top five by Delta Air Lines, 17 deaths; Alaska Airlines, 16; and United Airlines, 13 deaths, according to the U.S. DOT.
