The Coton is dog for companionship with a shoulder height which range between 22 and 32 centimetres. He has an average weight of 5 kilo's. The colour of the coat is white with sometimes coloured spots, which will disappear or fade away at an elder age. The dark eyes, which have a black eyeliner, the black nose, the black lips and the slightly broad head makes that the Coton is an expressive dog. The size, the natural fine looks and the playful character makes him very attractive to children. Those two will make a fine team; the Coton is a strong dog who always likes to play. They learn very fast and need a lot of attention. Other pets are for the Coton no problem. On the other hand they are watchful, but endless barking is not the case, provided that he gets a lot of attention and a good education.
