🐾 Your Loyal Little Shadow with Energy to Burn

Chico is a beautiful 6-year-old Coton de Tulear who absolutely adores his humans. He’s the kind of dog who forms strong bonds and will happily be by your side throughout the day — whether that’s following you around the house or settling in close once he’s had a good run.

Being a hypoallergenic, small breed, Chico is a fantastic option for those looking for a low-shedding companion — but don’t let his size fool you… this little guy has plenty of energy and thrives when he has space to move and regular exercise.

Chico is toilet trained and comes with his crate and even his own treadmill, which he’s used to as an outlet for his energy. He’s a smart boy who does best with structure and routine.

He can be social with other dogs in the right setting and with proper introductions, but his biggest love is always his people.

We are making the difficult decision to rehome Chico simply because we can’t give him the time and exercise he truly needs and deserves — and we want to see him thriving in a home that can match his energy and commitment.

Chico will do best in a home that:

– Has time and commitment for daily exercise and engagement
– Offers space to run (a secure yard is ideal)
– Is active and enjoys having a dog involved in their lifestyle
– Can provide structure and consistency
– Understands that small dogs can still have big energy needs

He would be perfectly suited to:

– An active individual, couple
– A family with older children who understand dogs
– Someone looking for a loyal companion to include in daily life
💛 The Perfect Match

Chico isn’t a “set and forget” dog — he’s a devoted companion who will give back so much love, loyalty, and personality to the right person. In return, he needs someone who can meet him where he’s at and give him the active, engaging life he thrives in.

If you’re looking for a loving, hypoallergenic dog with an energetic personality, Chico could be your perfect match.

Chico is a Coton de Tulear dog from the Bichon Frise family. We bought him in France for approx $2000 NZD from a reputable dog breeder and we have all of his paperwork. He came back to NZ with us when we moved back. He is microchipped, has been desexed and all vaccinations are up to date.
