A NACA Coton de Tulear Celebration!
The NACA “Hall of Fame” is intended to be more than a collection of titles. Our organization’s goal is to celebrate the exceptional Cotons and the dedicated Club Members who have contributed to their success.
The “Hall of Fame” recognizes NACA Members’ Cotons who have earned Best in Show (BIS), Reserve Best in Show (RBIS), National Best of Breed/National Best in Show Specialty (NBOB/NBISS) awards, and/or Grand Champion titles through UKC and/or UKC-acknowledged registries, including AKC, CKC, CFC, and the Kennel Club of Great Britain.
By recognizing these accomplishments, we honor the remarkable Coton lineages represented within the NACA while also providing future generations of Coton Breeders, Exhibitors, and Owners with a valuable glimpse into the past, present, and future of our beloved breed.
