Open each contributing breed for detailed information on the hybrid's parentage.
The Sheltie Tzu is an intentional cross, not a kennel-club breed with a single written standard. Two dogs from the same pairing can differ in size, coat, and temperament, because each puppy inherits a different mix of traits from the contributing breeds.
The portrait is an illustration of one possible look for this pairing. Individual dogs from the same cross can differ in size, coat, color, and build.
A Sheltie Tzu pairs a Shetland Sheepdog with a Shih Tzu. Size stays small. The coat is long, often sable, gold, or parti, with a face that may stay short. Ears usually drop or fold.
A long coat needs combing. Eyes need care if the Shih Tzu head wins. They can bark. This mix is a house companion, not a low-maintenance toy.
