Elegant and affectionate, the Chinese Crested comes in two varieties: hairless, with soft skin and a crest of hair, and powderpuff, with a full, silky coat. Both are cuddly lap dogs with a playful, people-focused nature who thrive on time spent close to their families.
Care differs by coat: hairless Cresteds need gentle skincare and sun protection, while powderpuffs benefit from regular brushing to keep tangles away. Exercise needs are modest and easily met with short walks and fun indoor games. With kind training and early socialization, they bloom into confident, charming companions who stand out in any crowd.
