A brief presentation of the Care-Tzu
With a friendly, social and intelligent disposition, it's no wonder the Care-Tzu is becoming increasingly popular with families. The Care-Tzu is a cross between the Cairn Terrier and the Shih Tzu. This small breed was developed to create a healthier, more social companion for families. This adorable dog stands between 23 and 33 centimeters tall and weighs between 6.5 and 9 kilos. Although an occasional barker, the breed is more interested in what your next activity will be. The Care-Tzu has been developed to be an affectionate and ideal companion for all. With its soft, straight coat, regular grooming will need to be completed to keep the fur mat free. Regular exercise will be necessary to ensure that your Care-Tzu is satisfied and physically at its best.

History of the Care-Tzu
Although the history of the Care-Tzu is relatively recent, it is suspected that the hybrid breed was created as a result of the trend towards specific cross-breeding dogs. The Care-Tzu was developed from its two parent breeds, the Cairn Terrier and the Shih Tzu. Although its original purpose is unknown, this affectionate dog makes a wonderful companion.
        

A little of the Cairn Terrier

         
The Cairn Terrier originated on the Isle of Skye over 200 years ago. Captain Martin MacLeod is credited with developing the breed. Originally, the Cairn Terrier was classified as a Scotch Terrier, which was later replaced by the Skye Terrier. In the early 1900s, the Cairn Terrier finally got its own name and was named after Scottish burial sites. In the early 1900s, the Cairn Terrier was also imported to the United States. This alert, loyal breed was bred to be a cheerful dog with a social and independent streak. It was known as a dog that loved to bark, dig and chase animals. His goal was to hunt small game, and he did just that.

A little of the Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu is thought to be one of the oldest breeds to have originated in Tibet or China. The Shih Tzu was an esteemed and revered breed that dominated paintings and appeared in documents throughout history. The Shih Tzu was a loyal breed that was appreciated as a companion dog. Throughout history, the Shih Tzu has been referred to as the "little lion dog" and has often been described as a docile, happy creature. In 1928, the first Shih Tzu breeding pair left China and arrived in England. In 1969, the Shih Tzu was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club.

Appearance of the Care-Tzu
The Care-Tzu measures between 23 and 33 centimeters and weighs from 6.5 to 9 kilos. Its body is longer than it is tall. Its long tail is usually carried high and overhead. The Care-Tzu's ears are said to generally consist of one upright and one floppy. Its straight, downy coat comes in gray, black, beige and silver. The coat is usually of medium length. Its seductive expression is playful and amusing. The eye shape of this perky dog is most similar to that of the Shih Tzu, and the eyes are dark brown with a sparkle that allows its personality to shine through.

Temperament of the Care-Tzu
The Care-Tzu's energy levels are considered moderate compared with its parent breeds. It is a docile companion that would be more than happy to please its family. This eager-to-please dog is an excellent addition for owners and strangers alike. This breed is considered outgoing, friendly and generally happy at all times. Due to its Cairn Terrier nature, this is a curious breed that would love to get to know you and others. The Care-Tzu is pleasant with children as well as with other animals. Small animals may need to be cautious when around the breed due to its hunting nature. Early training will suppress hunting instincts, but constant supervision is essential. This happy dog is eager to learn and is considered relatively easy to train. It's important to continue teaching your dog commands and remain consistent, allowing your pet to practice concentration skills. Ensuring that your dog's energy levels are expended during play, exercise and companionship will help prevent property destruction and boredom.

Needs and activities of the Care-Tzu
The Care-Tzu contains moderate energy levels and should be provided with the appropriate amount of exercise daily. Recommended exercise sessions should last between 30 and 40 minutes a day to ensure your dog is not at risk of obesity. Your Care-Tzu will enjoy walks, jogging, running and activities such as obedience classes. Apartment living suits your adorable dog perfectly, as it's a small breed and contains moderate energy. Your dog should also have access to classes, parks and other outdoor activities; visits to the dog park will encourage your hybrid to learn that other dogs are friends. While the Care-Tzu should be able to tolerate almost any weather, a warm climate is preferable.

Maintenance of the Care-Tzu
Although the Cairn Terrier is said to be hypoallergenic, the Care-Tzu is not generally considered hypoallergenic. There may be cases where a specific puppy may end up being hypoallergenic, but this would not be the norm. The Care-Tzu has low shedding levels due to its medium-length coat. It is not said to drool or contain significant odor. This breed requires regular grooming to prevent mats from developing. To achieve this, the coat should be brushed with a firm bristle brush, then combed with a Greyhound comb. Particular attention should be paid to the areas of the legs, face and tail that tend to mate easily. Your dog should be brushed before any bath, as the water will tend to tighten the knots. Bathing should be limited to every 6 to 8 weeks. Teeth should be brushed weekly to prevent tartar build-up. Ears should be plucked, wiped and cleaned every week. Nails should be trimmed every 2 to 3 weeks.
