The show calendar below is color coded to match the color of the various organizations.  Red is for ARBA (American Rare Breed Association), blue is for IABCA (International All Breed Canine Association), green is for Rarities, purple is for the Canine Kennel Club, and fuchsia is for CFC (Canine Federation of Canada) .  These are the organizations that publish yearly schedules.  These schedules are subject to frequent change.  You should contact the individual show organizations at their web sites to confirm the show is actually being held and which day(s) before you commit to attend.

FORB (Federation of Rare Breeds) usually holds an all breed conformation show every year during the summer in Michigan.  Call for details.

UKC (United Kennel Club) conformation shows are held by individual parent clubs for UKC.  These may be any breed (there is no Coton de Tulear parent club), and sometimes the clubs will invite Coton de Tulear and other specific breeds to compete.  Check with UKC to find out which shows are available to Cotons from the many held all year long in the U.S.

Watch the calendar for fun days where volunteers from U.S. Coton Clubs host a Coton Fun Day for pet owners.  All Coton de Tulear owners are invited to participate in these social events for dogs and owners alike.

For those interested in performance events like Agility, Obedience and Rally-Obedience, UKC and AKC (American Kennel Club) have many shows in a number of locations in the U.S. throughout the year.  Coton de Tulear are permitted in these shows but must have UKC or AKC-FSS registrations.  These registrations can be obtained with submission of an American Coton Club pedigree and registration to the appropriate show organization.
