The Bolo Tzu, a crossbreed between the Bolognese and Shih Tzu, does not have a distinct 'native region' as it is a designer breed developed primarily in the United States and other Western countries. Designer breeds like the Bolo Tzu are typically bred for companionship and do not have a natural geographical distribution.

As a domesticated dog breed, the Bolo Tzu is suited to a variety of home environments. They thrive in indoor settings where they can be close to their human companions. The breed is adaptable to various climates, although they may require protection from extreme temperatures, particularly extreme cold due to their small size.

The Bolo Tzu occupies the ecological niche of a companion animal. They are bred for human interaction, providing emotional support and companionship. Unlike wild animals, they do not have a natural ecological role outside of human society.
