If You Want An Unusual Looking Dog Than The Chinese Crested May Be For You

When it comes to unusual dogs, the Chinese Crested is probably one of the most unusual you will see as it almost looks like a tiny pony. This dog originates from Africa where it is called the “African Hairless Terrier” and were often used as ratters on board the trading ships. this strange looking greed is becoming quite popular and we’re seeing it more and more in rare breed dog shows.

Part of the toy group, the Chinese Crested was first registered to the American kennel club (AKC) in 1991. According to breed standards, this dog must not weigh more than 10 pounds and stands about 12 inches tall. The breed actually has two varieties – one which is hairlesss except for the feet, head and tail and another variety which is referred to as the powder puff and has a long soft coat that resembles hair. the dog has use that stand erect, dark eyes and a long muzzle on a broad skull. Pretty much every color is allowed and they can be either solid, spotted or mixed.

The Chinese Crested is a dog that needs to be with his family and can become very attached to his owner. If you have a lot of time to spend with your pet, though, he is an excellent dog and is very cuddly, playful and sweet. These dogs are very intelligent and alert and can perform many tricks. They are good with other paths and do not bark a lot unlike many other toy dogs. be forewarned, however, that they do like to dig holes and climb.

Because of the hairless nature of the dogs the skin does require special care to prevent skin problems. in fact, their skin should be treated almost like human skin and they will need to have sunscreen put on if they are going to be outdoors in the sun or they will get a sunburn! They also can have problems with their teeth like a lot of other small dogs and you should get in the habit of brushing them every couple of days. these dogs me as much food as you give them, so you should take care not to overfeed them or they will become obese.

The Chinese crested does not need excessive exercise in where it does not bark much it can be a great dog for Apartment living. That being said, like all dogs this dog will need to be taken out for walks and get daily exercise. For cold climates, some sort of sweater or coat will be needed outdoors and if you keep your house cool may be needed indoors as well.

The hairless version of the Chinese Crested doesn’t really need it much grooming as it doesn’t have any hair. you will find a stock to be very clean with no doggy smell, fleas or texts. The powder puff version should be brushed daily. You can be a hairlesss frequently and you may even want to massage some oil or cream into his skin. This dog does not shed much.
