Named after their city of origin in Tulear Madagascar. Commonly referred to as a "cotton dog" because of their soft cotton like coat. Chumm is a playful, affectionate, intelligent dog. Although generally quiet, he can become very vocal -- grunting, barking, and making other noises when having fun. He loves meeting new people and is very curious in new situations. The Coton de Tulear has a large-dog personality much like the Lab and Chumm sure fits the description. He loves to run, jump swim and play. He especially likes to go hiking.
