Exploring Coton Cyberspace

updated January 4th, 2012

Late, late at night, when Karin and Kristen have departed for dreamland, Coco of Alika Cotons stays up surfing the web with daddy Jim Moran. At heart, many of us are basically web wandering insomniacs -- even our Cotons! (jpeg courtesy of Jim Moran)

The Coton de Tulear Club of America created the alpha test version of this Web site, The Coton de Tulear News & Information Network, in September, 1996. The public release version of this service was inaugurated on November the 7th. This site was designed and constructed by Dr. Robert Jay Russell. Please remember our URL address:

http://www.CotonClub.org

We'd like you to visit us again and again. This is a very active site: we revise this information frequently. We'd greatly appreciate your comments, criticisms, ideas, and questions. All of them will improve this site and continue our dialogue about this wonderful breed. Drop us a snail mail letter or give us a call (go to: Contact the CTCA!) or send us an email now: CotonNews@aol.com

There are many of them. We'll list a few here with hot links directly to them, and we'll be expanding this list considerably during the coming months.

First, copy down the URLs below (just in case the hypertext jump accidentally sends you to Toledo). Then, click on the URL and, if the internet genies are properly aligned, you'll be on a Madagascar site in no time flat.
