Introduction
My name is Cory Williams. My husband, John,
and I live near Pinehurst, North Carolina with our daughter Brienne,
four Cotons, a Great Pyrenees, and three cats. We also have an
older daughter, Kendra, who lives nearby with her husband, Tim,
and our grand daughter, Ella.
John and I are originally from Ohio, although we have lived all
over the United States. We moved to North Carolina in 1996 after falling
in love with the area. It is now our permanent home.
John is a real estate broker and I am his assistant, and also a
free-lance writer. This allows me to work from our home and care
for our family and pets.

The Perfect Dog: How it all started |
| |
In early 2000, I first learned
about the Coton de Tulear breed of dogs. We were looking for
a puppy and I wanted to own the perfect dog for our family. So,
I entered those keywords, "the perfect dog," in my
computer browser and ended up on someone's Coton web site. It
was there that I met and fell in love with the Coton.
After about three months of perusing the web for a reputable
breeder, we paid a deposit for a show quality male. My family
and I settled in for what turned out to be a long wait. It
was a full year later that we brought home our male, Bogey.
While waiting for Bo, I educated myself by reading everything
I could about the breed including health issues, showing dogs,
the standard for the breed, anything else I could find published
by the many different Coton breed clubs.

We were enamored with Bogey from the start and subsequently added Bébé,
Katey and
Charlotte to our family. They come from what I believe to be the top
European and American kennels. Our intentions were to breed the girls
if they
remained show-quality. All of my research resulted in us owning fabulous
foundation
dogs for our kennel. Dogs who not only met breed standards for the Coton
but excel in their temperament, intelligence, and abound with the wonderful
characteristics that make a Coton "the perfect dog." In fact,
we were honored recently to have our dogs' photos featured on the AKC's
web site representing the standard for the breed. Click
here to see the photos.
Being a dog breeder is the perfect job for me as an animal
lover, and work-at-home mom. But, it is a job I don't take
lightly. I postponed our first litter until I felt I was educated
enough to bring healthy well-adjusted pups in to the world.
My dream is to not only improve the breed, but to place our
puppies in homes where their new owners can experience all
of the joy that we have experienced owning this special and
unique breed.
Our web site is designed to introduce our dogs, and the Coton
de Tulear breed to you. Please feel free to ask us questions,
we love to chat Cotons.
