About this title

Synopsis

Distinctive for its hairlessness, the Chinese Crested is the world's most popular breed of hairless dog--a curious distinction, for certain. Beneath its sometimes purple skin is a rare and delightful canine. Compared to a graceful prancing pony in miniature, the Chinese Crested, with its tufted head, feet and tail, makes a feisty, fun-loving pet for those folk clever enough to fall in love with a near-naked dog. The breed, in actuality, comes in two varieties, with the Powderpuff coated in a soft veil of hair. For the right owners, the Chinese Crested makes a loyal and enthusiastic pet, happily praticipating in sports, outdoor outings, shows and the like.

This book provides the kind of information Crested owners require. The author shares her insight into the breed's characteristics and personality plus handy first-hand advice about caring for the breed's skin, coat and teeth. Owners will welcome the detailed chapter on house-training and obedience training, all based on positive training techniques.

Whether it's housebreaking problems, acne, sunburn or toothaches, this new volume provides the necessary guidance from puppyhood through the Crested's senior years.
