Denise & Peter Simenauer are the proud owners of Dior show dogs.  Denise and Peter have been breeding and showing top dogs since 1974 and have loved the Cotons for more than a decade.  They have bred and shown top dogs throughout the world breeding a Best of Breed Winner at the 2005 World Dog Show, Best of Breed Winner at the Westminster Kennel Club Show and Best of Breed Bred By Exhibitor at the Eukanuba Invitational. 

 Choosing to add a Coton de Tulear to their showdogs was not done lightly and was not done until a space was available on their pillow!  They are enamored with the breed and tell everyone they know about the wonderful qualities of the Coton.

 Denise is an AKC judge, past multiple term board member of the BCA, Breed Education Committee member and USACTC Code of Ethics Breeder.  Peter is also an active dog enthusiast being a member of the Kalamazoo Kennel Club and past Show Chair of the BCA National Specialty.  Both Denise and Peter take pride in their breeder-owner-handler accomplishments.

Denise and Peter believe that breeding stock should only come from champions of the show ring and that breeders should strive for quality, not quantity.  All of their dogs are raised inside their home, not kept in crates or kennels and enjoy traveling with them in their motor home and staying at their homes in Fort Myers Beach & Cape Coral, Florida and Kalamazoo, Michigan.  Most importantly, they do not believe that breeding dogs should be done for an income.  Rather, they believe that breeding dogs is done for the passion of preserving the breed, adherence to International Standards and breeding a truly breathtaking Coton that will live a long and healthy life as a beloved family member.
