About the Coton Tzu
The Coton Tzu is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Coton De Tulear and the Shih Tzu. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Coton Tzu is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.
