History of the breed

Originally from China, as its name suggests, the Chinese Crested Dog is said to be the descendant of very ancient breeds, dating from the Han dynasty, which nevertheless represents a period of 4 centuries (from 206 BC. J.-C. . to AD 220). Some of these dogs were used to protect the precious possessions of their owners , while others were specialized in hunting pests, especially on boats.

Chinese Crested Dog   was first exhibited in the United States at the end of the 19th century after settling in Mexico ((it is said to be the ancestor of the Mexican dog by the way). Subsequently, it has had some success thereafter, before falling somewhat into disuse around the second half of the 20th century.The breed was definitively recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale on July 17, 1972.

Education

Clever
Obedient

The education of the Chinese Crested Dog should be both firm and gentle . Educated and socialized sufficiently early, it becomes a very good companion dog for any type of owner. He can quickly become a disruptive element if he does not receive a good education.

Living conditions

Suitable for apartment living
Good for new masters
Love it hot
Love the cold

The Chinese Crested Dog is the pleasure and indoor dog par excellence. Due to his endearing character , his small size and his vulnerability to external aggressions, he must live inside the home and adapt perfectly to living in an apartment. But being able to enjoy the freedom of a fenced garden suits him just as well.

Health

Due to its very fine coat, even nonexistent, the Chinese Crested Dog does not tolerate cold and humidity , but also solar attacks. He nevertheless enjoys a fairly good life expectancy. Note that the breed is predisposed to certain diseases mainly of a dermatological nature : allergic or atopic dermatitis, solar dermatitis and sunburn.
