About Kellie
I taught elementary school for many years and I have a wonderful husband, Dave. We have two teenagers that are the light of our lives. My family has been very supportive with my obsession...THE COTON DE TULEAR! Most weekends you will find us running around the show ring.
What makes Kellie’s program special
At Shiloh Cotons we didn’t want just any Cotons, we wanted the very best from the U.S. and from around the world. We were very lucky to find the top breeders on both sides of the pond. We want to breed not only for beauty but also health. All breeding dogs are checked for healthy eyes, hips, elbows, and we do check for genetic issues through DNA. Remember the Coton is not a toy breed and will most likely weigh about 10-15 lbs when fully grown.
