The Coton Tzu is a cross between a purebred Coton De Tulear and a purebred Shih Tzu. They are called hybrid dogs due to their origination from two different pure breeds.
They are small size dogs with average height and weight of 8-12 inches and 9-16 pounds respectively. These dogs are very playful, loving and happy dogs that like to be around their family members and make good companion dogs.
