Coton de Tulear versus Labradoodle: Overview
A very important difference between the Coton de Tulear and the Labradoodle is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Coton de Tulear is a tiny-sized dog while the Labradoodle is a large-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Coton de Tulear belongs to the Companion Dogs group. Companion Dogs were bred to be companions for humans. Their main goal in life is to be with people, and they will be very sad if left to themselves for long hours day after day.

When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets.

We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for a Coton de Tulear is 94 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for a Labradoodle is 94 out of 125.
