The Chinese Crested’s cheerful disposition means she fits in well with most families, including those with kids and other pets. But all interactions between kids and this breed should be supervised, as Chinese Cresteds are so small and "fine-boned" that they can easily be hurt accidentally when playing.
These pups are also a good fit for older adults or those who live in small apartments. It’s easy to get them the relatively small amount of exercise they need to stay healthy, and they’re often happy spending time playing indoors or lounging on the couch.
Many tiny dog breeds have trouble with their teeth, and the Chinese Crested is no exception. This dog is known to have dental issues such as early tooth loss and gum disease.
Hairless Chinese Cresteds have smooth, soft skin that needs a little extra TLC. If your hairless dog spends time in the sun, her skin needs to be protected with dog-safe sunscreen or clothing. You will also need to regularly moisturize their skin to prevent it from drying out and becoming damaged. A warm sweater or coat may also be necessary even on relatively mild days.
Dog Breeds Name
The Chinese Crested comes in two varieties – Hairless (without fur) and Powderpuff (with fur). Despite their name, the breed did not actually originate in China. Instead, their name is due to the breed being used as ratters in Chinese ships. Small, animated, high-spirited and extremely affectionate, Chinese Crested dogs can make for a perfect house pet and daily companion.
