I just purchased my first Coton De Tulear from Cindy and Glenda of My Darling Dogs and I have to say my life is forever changed. I found them on the internet and I have never purchased a dog having not seen them in person, so I was nervous. My experience with both Cindy and Glenda was absolutely wonderful. I must have called them twenty times and changed my mind at least twice and throughout the whole process they were so patient and willing to answer all of my questions. The first thing that I noticed when I picked her up at the airport was how well adjusted she was. She just looked up at me and tilted her head and it was then and there that I named her Dolly. Her demeanor clearly shows she was raised in a loving environment and not some kennel. I am forever grateful that I stumbled on to My Darling Dogs and I am looking forward to buying another little girl in the future. Thank you Cindy and Glenda for all the information and patience.

Our Roxie is so wonderfu! We are just crazy about her. I haven't seen my husband this giddy over anyone in a long time. She weighed in yesterday at 3lbs 14 ozs. She's really growing fast, and is developing a sweet, sweet personality with a little bit of impishness, which I love. She's quite an extrovert. Roxie goes to work with me at my store every afternoon. All my employees and my customers love her. She has lots of attention and loves every minute of it. In the mornings she stays home with our housekeeper (who loves her almost as much as we do) who is helping us train her. She is about 98% potty trained and that was the easiest training I have ever done. She is just sooo smart. We are currently leash training her and she is doing well. She is retrieving her ragbones and her ball and is responding to "Sit". (At least sometimes.) I find that training her in every respect is easy. She seems to be happy learning. I am sending pictures. Please share them with Glenda. She is truly wonderful! Judy (South Carolina)

We just wanted to send you a quick "hello" and thank you again for allowing us to
bring such a wonderful member into our family.  Blizzard is such a precious joy, and
is growing up so quickly, it is hard to believe that we just became family in
January.  The "Blizz-bear", as we call him, is just the most increcible addition to
our small family (Bianca and I also have a Russian Tortoise named Sergei). 

Blizzard is our best friend when times are great, and the most sympathetic when
times are grey.  He loves to cuddle at the first opportunity, but also gets a thrill
out of chasing his stuffed friend "Pheasant" when he gets the chance.  Blizzard can
sit, stay, lay down, and give "high-five" whenever requested.  He is the protector
of the house and lets us know if he hears any noise that he doesn't recognize, and
"celebrates" when Bianca and I come home from work.

After only 8 months, it is so hard to express our sincere appreciation to you for
allowing us to add such a gift to our family.  Blizzard is loved so deeply by each
of our families, and he is now the most important part of our extended family
conversations.

In June of 2008, Bianca and I will be married in Germany.  As Blizzard is such a
huge part of our lives, we have already named him the "Best Dog" and he will be
enjoying our special day with us.

We want to thank you and your family once again for your early guidance,
communication, support, and comfortable addition of Blizzard into our family.  We
have been so blessed with his presence and would not know what to do without him.

Thanks again for all that you have done,

Doug and Bianca

After having been on a waiting list for a Bolognese puppy for a few months, I was lucky to find My Darling Dogs on the Internet. My experience with Cindy has been absolutely wonderful. She was very responsive via e-mail as well as phone. She helped me prepare to receive my new little puppy as well as fill me in on lots of great tips for caring for a dog. I have had my new little man, Charlie, for over a month now, and he is wonderful. Cindy did a super job of socializing him, so that he is not afraid of anything. He is rambunctious, yet lovable at the same time. Cindy still offers suggestions and tips as I experience "the joys of puppyhood" for the first time. I often e-mail questions to her, and she gives me the same prompt response time and kind consideration. My husband and I thrilled with our new little guy. I highly recommend Cindy as a terrific breeder!

I never before realized the benefit of getting a dog through a breeder until now. I had always heard concerns about puppy mills, specifically, the concern about possible genetic problems resulting from careless breeding. The main benefit I have found is that our dog "Coconut" came about 80% pre-house trained because its dog mother was trained already, and it just followed her lead. This is an enormous benefit. Other puppies I have had required the work of a new infant! My dog is very sweet and companionable - he acts like a dog who has been given alot of care and attention. The breed just seems to be sweet, affectionate, and calm. My pup is not an aggressive or yippy dog. Coconut is an elegant looking animal - he does not have the common look of a poodle or Bichon. People who love dogs are very interested in him because the Coton is not a common breed in the United States, so there's very much a "show off" factor!!!! Last, but most importantly, I have allergies to everything. When I had the allergy testing done, I am allergic to all 400 samples! This Coton is the FIRST dog in my entire life that I am not allergic to - his saliva (if he licks my arm or hand) does not make me itch. I have no sneezing, runny nose, itching, or skin irritation. This little dog can curl up on the couch with me, and I don't have to take a sudafed, or go wash my hands immediately. Yay! Yay! Yay! The reason I chose Glenda as a breeder is because on the telephone it was clear that she loves her animals. This dog is the dog love of my life! Thanks so much for sending him to me! Kindest regards,
Gretchen (Pennsylvania)
