Breed Feature - Chinese Crested


This breed feature is dedicated to one of the most unique-looking breeds in the world: the Chinese Crested.  I don’t think I have ever seen one in person.  



Breed Specifics:
  • Range from 10–13 lbs.
  • Like most hairless dog breeds, the Chinese crested comes in two varieties, both with and without fur, which are born in the same litter: the Hairless and the Powderpuff.
  • Many Cresteds live 12 to 14 years or more!
  • Maintenance of their skin is similar to human skin.  It can be susceptible to acne, dryness, and sunburn.
  • The most popular of the hairless breeds, the Chinese Crested dogs are still very rare. These dogs are alert, charming, agile, and lovable.
  • Good for apartment life. They are fairly active indoors and will do okay without a yard.
 
Haha When I see this breed, I think about How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.  Love that movie!
