About chinese cresteds
These amusing little dogs make excellent, loyal companions. Known for their distinctive, hairless appearance, these dogs actually do come in a hairy variety as well. The geographical origins of the Chinese Crested are not certain, but it is clear that they worked as “ratters” to help eliminate vermin on ships. Chinese Crested are alert and playful, adjust well to apartment and house living, and do very well with children and families.
