The VanDeen Family----

Hello A Breed Apart,

Congrats on the new website, it is gorgeous!  I am continually amazed at the wealth of information you have on your site, it is truly a labor of love.  It is so user-friendly and fun to read, even an old lady as myself has no problems finding my way around.

As for our gorgeous Bijou, he is a dream boy.  He has been a a great source of entertainment to myself and my grandchidren.  Adopting him was the best decision I have made, and Julie, you did a stand-up job raising these puppies.  I have never seen such a great operation, as what you have in your home.  The love and devotion you have for your animals is evident in everything you do.  My vet and trainers alike agree; Bijou is a very well-bred and socialized animal. He will be having his second birthday next month, and we are planning a family vacation to California in my Motor Home.  Bijou LOVES our trips with the grandchildren, as they admire him so.  Everywhere we go, everyone stops and asks what breed Bijou is!  I need to make up a little card that spells and explains the lovely Coton de Tulear.  I am sure you will be receiving many requests from the people I have met over the past month--Bijou amazes all when he performs his tricks.  He is a joy, and as you told me, has a clownlike personality.   I highly recommend you to anyone interested in obtaining a lovely Coton puppy. I am hoping to send an updated picture of Bijou for your site one of these days.

 

Lovingly,

Ruth VanDeen
