Purposes
The United States of America Coton de Tulear Club is an organization devoted to the preservation and welfare of the Coton de Tuléar breed. With this in mind, the USACTC, Inc. has defined a standard of excellence for the breed by sponsoring exhibitions for the comparison and improvement of the breeding population and also for the education of our breeders and fanciers. We provide breed specific information for judges, Coton owners, exhibitors and admirers. Our goal is to produce a Coton that is uniform in type, sound in mind and body, and suited to its purpose as a small versatile companion.
Functions of USACTC
Members of this national Coton de Tulear Club, in general, are companion owners, veteran breeders, exhibitors and judges. They have, through years of experience, gained extensive knowledge regarding the breed. It is their goal, as members of the AKC Parent Club, to define and preserve the Standard of the ideal Coton as well as advance the general welfare of the breed. USACTC has an annual General Membership Meeting which normally precedes the club’s National Specialty.
