Bolo-Tzu History
The Bolo-Tzu is a medium-sized hybrid or designer dog that was developed by crossing a Tibetan Terrier and a Bichon Frise. The development of the Bolo-tzu has been credited to Chinese-American breeder Carol Shen. The mixed-breed ancestry of the Bolo-tzu, which has included a Chow Chow, a Yorkshire Terrier, a Pomeranian, a Maltese, a Pug and a Shih Tzu, is blamed for a number of health problems in the breed, including poor eyesight, skin problems and eye ailments.

Bolo-Tzu Temperament and Behaviour
The Bolo-Tzu is a lively, playful, and cuddly companion. They are independent, but like to remain close to their families. They interact well with young children and are known to be protective of them. They are pleasant, courageous, and alert, but tend not to be overly aggressive, which is unusual for most toy breeds.
Bolo-Tzu Activity Requirements
Bolo-Tzus are small, muscular, and agile. They are one of the oldest breeds of dog, originating in China. They are intelligent and playful, and make a great companion. A daily walk or short play session will keep a Bolo-Tzu healthy and happy. They enjoy a good game of tug or fetch, and like to be mentally stimulated. However, they don’t need a ton of exercise and can get by with a short walk or a few games a day. If you are looking for a small, easy-to-care-for pet, the Bolo-Tzu is a good option. While they don’t require much exercise and can adapt to living in an apartment, they do require regular human companionship. They are not a good choice for a strictly outdoor dog.
