Despite their Chinese name these dogs are not believed to originate in China. In fact they're also found in South America!
Chinese Cresteds are both hairless and powderpuff varieties and both require a high level of maintenance. Hairless and powderpuff Chinse Cresteds are both considered low shedders but not truly hypoallergenic. These birds can reach a height of about 13 inches (33 cm) and weigh about 12 pounds (5 kg).
Because Chinese Crested Dogs lack body hair they can give off a lot of heat making them a perfect companion for cuddling. Despite this hairless Crested dogs do require additional protection against extreme temperatures as their skin is sensitive to both heat and cold.
