Appearance

This breed of dog is becoming more and more popular in the world of celebrity. This breed comes in two varieties including the very strange looking hairless variety and the Powderpuff. The hairless variety is the type that people tend to remember, mainly due the fact that they have hair on the head, tail, ears and feet but not on their body (although this is actually a misconception as they are actually covered with a thin downy hair that is difficult to see).

The Chinese Crested Powderpuff is covered with a thick long coat that is the same length all over the body. Both varieties are very small and graceful with a domed shaped head and with ears that are triangular and stick up on either side of the head. The tail should run parallel to the ground when the dog is on the move and curl up over the back when stationary.

Temperament

This breed are very intelligent which makes them easier to train. They are great with children and love to be part of a family. Due to their size and stature you do need to be careful when introducing them to small children and other dogs as they are easily injured. This breed tend to bond with one or two members of the family and will often pine for the family member when they have gone out. Due to the fact that they do need allot of attention and need to be around people all the time they can be difficult to re-home. If you are a career minded person and work long hours then we don't recommend that you get a Chinese Crested Powderpuff as they may suffer from anxiety related problems when left for long periods on their own.
