About the breed

 With their bare skin, spiky crested hairdo, furry socks and feathery tail, you can’t mistake the sweet and slender Chinese Crested for any other breed. This frolicsome, affectionate companion dog is truly a breed apart. The Chinese Crested is a lively and alert toy breed standing at 11-13 inches and weigh in between 8-12 pounds.
this breed comes in 3 varieties, Hairless, hairy hairless and powderpuff. The hairless variety has smooth and soft skin and grows hair on their head, tail and ankles. The powderpuff is covered with a soft silky coat. The hairy hairless has more hair on its body than a hairless but less body coat than a powderpuff. Besides the coat, there's very little difference between the powderpuff and his undressed brother. Both varieties can be born in the same litter. Both varieties are characterized by fine-boned elegance and graceful movement. Cresteds are as fun as they look: playful, loving, and devoted to their humans. The hairless has its advantages: there is no doggy odor, and for obvious reasons shedding isn't much of a problem. Both varieties are attentive housemates, totally in tune with their family.

About our breeding program

 Our focus in our program is to produce well rounded puppies that will excel as confirmation and performance prospects and improve heath and temperament in the breed!

We are currently focusing on titling our two young prospects in both AKC & UKC conformation.

All of our Cresteds are health tested above OFA CHIC standard as well as testing beyond recommendations by the ACCC (American Chinese Crested Club) prior to breeding.
