Welcome to the world of Chinese crested's
|
| The Chinese crested’s come in two varieties—the hairless and the powderpuff. Both are born in the same litter and both are important in preserving the quality of the Chinese Crested. |
| The hairless variety has soft silky hair on it’s head, feet and tail. Their skin is soft and smooth. |
| The powderpuff variety is completely covered with a silky, soft, and straight coat. |
| Both varieties, the hairless and the powderpuff come in many different colors and markings. |
Care required |
| The skin of the hairless Chinese crested’s require careful attention. Those with show dogs wash the skin regularly, and often use skin-exfoliating products to remove dead cells and to soften the skin. It is also important to keep the skin smooth and clear. The unpigmented areas and the Chinese crested’s with light color skin, such as the palomino colored dogs, are especially sensitive to the sun. It is a good idea to keep them out of the sun or use a good quality sunscreen. |
| The powderpuff variety should be brushed or combed on a regular basis, as well as bathe. A good quality shampoo and conditioner is recommended. |

Training |
| The Chinese Crested is not difficult to train because this dog is intelligent and quick to grasp what is required of them. |
