The Jatzu is a cross between a purebred Japanese Chin and a purebred Shih Tzu. They are called hybrid dogs due to their origination from two different pure breeds.
The Jatzu is a small dog with a maximum height of 11 inches and weight of 20 pounds. These dogs are cheerful, alert, playful and loyal. They have a proportioned body with dainty feet and floppy ears. They are mostly found in black and white or apricot and white colours although other colours are also possible.
