General Description
As with all hybrids, the Pug-Zu carries traits from both the mother breed and father breed. Most Pug-Zus look very Pug like. They are more muscular than their Shih-Tzu kin and will have the markings of the Pug. The markings are either fawn (black ears/face with a tan body) or a black color. The most noticeable trait is the flat face that the Pug is renowned for. The Pug-Zus is not a heavy shedding dog and tend to keep their hair like the ShihTzu. They have two coats and the outer layer will grow as long as a Shih Tzu. If the outer layer is separated from the skin, a short Pug like layer is visible. The Pug-Zus tail will be curled but not as tight as a Pug. It will be very similar to the curl of the Shih Tzu. The fur on the tail can grow long and mimic a Shih Tzu.
