Care-Tzu History

The history of the Care-Tzu began in 1997, when a Japanese breeder named Mr. Izumi Yazawa acquired a male Bichon Frise and a female Japanese Chin. Rather than breeding the two purebreed dogs, he decided to cross them. The offspring from this cross proved to have unexpected traits, such as a soft coat, a curled tail, and a loping gait.
