Chinese Crested Puppies
Country of Origin: The Chinese Crested is a small breed known for its distinct appearance and personality.
There are ‘Hairless’ and ‘PowderPuff’ varieties which are so different in appearance that they are sometimes
mistaken for different breeds, but in fact hairlessness is a genetic trait; both types can be born in the same
litter! There are many theories as to the Chinese Crested’s ancestry. Some say it a cross between Chinese
breeds and an African breed which introduced the hairless gene and others say it is a cross between the
Chihuahua and Mexican Hairless Dog. Some even think that Chinese Cresteds (along with the Rhodesian
Ridgeback and a few other breeds) are a distinct species from all other dogs! In any case, the Chinese Crested
was brought to China in the thirteenth century where it became a popular rat hunter and trading curiosity
among sailors. It spread on sailing vessels throughout the mid-East, Africa, and South America. The Chinese
Crested was not recognized by the American Kennel Club until 1991. Today, it is a popular show dog with a
modest but devoted fan base among pet owners. Chinese Cresteds are sure to catch on in popularity in the
coming years. A Chinese Crested named ‘Sam’ was the three time winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog competition,
but don’t let that spoil the whole breed for you—Sam just happened to be quite ugly!Size:The Chinese Crested
has a shoulder height of 23-33 cm (9-13 in) and weighs up to 6 kg (13 lbs). It has a broad head, long muzzle, very
large, upright ears, and almond shaped eyes. Chinese Cresteds have a flat back, merrily carried tail, and
distinctive long, narrow ‘hare feet’.Coat:There are two distinct varieties of Chinese Crested—the ‘Hairless’
Chinese Crested and the more common ‘Powder Puff’ Chinese Crested. The Hairless Chinese Crested (slight
misnomer) has soft, humanlike skin and tufts of fur on its head and ears (the ‘crest’), tail tip (‘plume’), and feet
(‘socks’). It may have small tufts of fur elsewhere. The Hairless Chinese Crested ranges from pale to black. The
Powder Puff Chinese Crested has a thick double coat with a very soft, silky topcoat. It may be groomed with a
full face of hair, in which case it has the appearance of a Terrier, but more commonly the snout is shaved. All
Hairless Chinese Cresteds carry the Powder Puff gene as a recessive trait, as the mix of two Hairless genes is
fatal in unborn puppies. This means that two Hairless Chinese Cresteds may give birth to a PowderPuff Chinese
Crested. Both types of Chinese Crested are good fur allergy sufferers (pun intended).Character: Chinese
Cresteds have a distinctive extroverted personality. They are playful, sensitive, and high-spirited, but cautious
of people they do not know. A few Chinese Cresteds are ‘one person’ dogs which grow particularly attached to
one person, but most will grow attached to the whole family. Chinese Cresteds are highly entertaining and
cuddly. Temperment: The Chinese Crested gets along well with children (provided they respect its personal
space), other dogs, and any household pets. Young children should be watched around the Hairless Chinese
Crested as it does not have the coat most breeds have to protect it from rough play.Care: The Powder Puff
Chinese Crested must be groomed daily and washed frequently to prevent matting. The muzzle must be shaved
every few weeks (or allowed to grow out). The Hairless Chinese Crested’s skin should be cared for with lotion
and exfoliating creams. It should be kept out of the sun or protected by sunscreen. Chinese Cresteds are not
suited to outdoor life or cold climates; the Hairless Chinese Crested should be given a sweater for walks in cold
weather. Hairless Chinese Cresteds may not have a full set of teeth, but this is not considered a health risk or a
fault for show dogs. Most need to be shaved, but carefully so as to avoid irritating the skin. Avoid overfeeding as
it may result in obesity.Training: The Chinese Crested's intelligence makes it easy to train, but it is sensitive and
requires a gentle approach. The Chinese Crested can learn a wide variety of tricks.Activity: The exercise needs
of the Chinese Crested are uncomplicated. It prefers a daily walk, but can usually have its needs met by indoor
play. The Chinese Crested is well suited to apartment life.
