The Chinese Crested Puppy

The Chinese Crested is simply one of the most exotic puppies for those who love dogs. A small breed, the chinese crested puppy is noted for its hairless variety.

Colors differ within the standard dog hair shades. A full-grown adult male or female dog will stand 11 to 13 inches high. This dog is very similar in size and body-type to the Chihuahua.

Owners located in hot climates will discover that the hairless Crested dog to be ideal, though sunscreen is imperative if the Chinese Crested puppy is exposed to direct sunlight for any length of time. Skin allergies are common in this little breed, so be aware of unusual reactions and treat them promptly at your vet.
