What To Expect When Caring For a Chinese Crested

Owning a dog is not just a privilege; it’s a responsibility. They depend on us for, at minimum, food and shelter, and deserve much more. When you take a dog into your life, you need to understand the commitment that dog ownership entails.

About Chinese crested puppies

The Chinese crested puppies are small, charming creatures with distinctive features. They have a hairless body except for their head, tail, and feet, which are adorned with soft and fluffy hair. These adorable puppies are known for their playful and affectionate nature, making them perfect companions for families and individuals alike. Despite their delicate appearance, Chinese crested puppies are energetic and agile, always ready for a fun adventure. They require regular grooming to maintain their unique coat and ensure their skin stays healthy. With proper care and training, these lovable puppies can grow up to be well-behaved and loyal pets. If you are looking for a small-sized dog with a big heart, the Chinese crested puppy might be the perfect match for you.

Grooming

You might think that the hairless variation of the Chinese Crested would require almost no grooming. After all, he has no hair. However, because his skin is exposed, the hairless Crested is prone to skin irritations, allergies, and sunburn. Careful grooming, including skin treatments specifically for your dog's skin type, sunscreen, and acne lotions are necessary to maintain a healthy pet. The Powderpuff version needs to be brushed daily to maintain his fluffy coat. The Powderpuff's coat is different than that of most other dogs. The undercoat is shorter than the longer overlay, which is the opposite of most haired breeds. This makes them easier to brush, but the coat can mat quickly.

Health

Responsible breeders consistently screen their breeding stock for inherited eye problems that are known to occur in the Chinese Crested, including progressive retinal atrophy, glaucoma, and primary lens luxation. Epilepsy occurs in the breed occasionally. Patellar luxation (slipped stifles) affects Cresteds, as it does most small breeds. Legg-Calve-Perthes disease has no DNA test to screen parents, but it does sometimes show up on X-ray.

Exercise

The exercise needs of the Chinese Crested can usually be satisfied with daily short walks with his owner and play-sessions in his backyard. It is good for the Crested to exercise outdoors, but care must be taken to use either sunscreen or place protective clothing on him. These are tough little dogs who can be very competitive in canine sports.
