About the Chinese Crested

The Chinese Crested is a small dog breed originating in China / Africa (debated). Adult dogs typically weigh 8 to 12 pounds and live 13 to 16 years. The breed is described as affectionate, people-bonded, playful, sensitive.

Households wanting a small, affectionate companion and willing to provide skin care (the hairless variety needs sunscreen and warmth). Cold or high-sun environments without protection for the hairless variety, or homes that leave the dog alone for long stretches.

Adult Chinese Cresteds need about 30 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 40 minutes. The coat is hairless-coated with low shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
