Ruth Ornelas Coton De Tulear

Ruth Ornelas Coton De Tulear breeds Coton de Tulear in Belgrade, MT, serving Gallatin County and the Gallatin Valley near Bozeman. The kennel has been active with the American Kennel Club for several years and conducts health screenings recommended for the breed.

Puppies are raised in a home environment, socialized daily around children and other pets, and receive regular health checks and grooming. The small home-based program allows Ruth to focus on each puppy’s temperament and early training for lifelong companionship. Puppies follow feeding and care protocols developed in partnership with a local veterinarian experienced in small breed needs.

Each puppy receives gentle introductions to routine sounds, leash walking, and crate familiarization before rehoming. Ongoing support is available for new owners, and Ruth shares resources on training and breed-specific care. Several litters have produced puppies that later participated in therapy work and community visits.
