Introduction

With a striking appearance, the Chinese Crested is known for its crest of silky hair and lack of coat on its slender body. This small, affectionate companion sports a playful and loving temperament, suitable for families and singles alike. Despite their graceful looks, they are alert and can be spirited, thriving on human interaction. They come in two varieties – hairless and powderpuff, the latter having soft fur. Moderately active indoors, they enjoy short walks and excel in agility activities due to their light build and smart, responsive nature.
