"Nico"

There are two types of Chinese Crested, and both can be born in the same litter. The Hairless has a "crest" of hair on the head and neck. There is also hair on the tail (called a plume) and feet (called socks). The Powderpuff is completely covered with a soft double coat of straight, long hair. They do not shed, are odorless, and are an excellent choice for people with allergies. This little dog should stand no more than 13 inches at the shoulder. Low maintenance for grooming and exercise, they fit well in environments that are generally not "dog-friendly" such as apartments.

The Chinese Crested is a fun-loving, playful, and agile little clown. These "little pony dogs" are affectionate, lively, intelligent, alert, inquisitive, and entertaining companions. Among their many endearing qualities is their ability to use their feet like hands to cling to objects. A friendly family dog, the Chinese Crested is not aggressive towards children or other animals. This breed is not one to be kept outside in a kennel. They are happiest with the companionship of a home, and are best in a one dog family. 

The hairless variety is susceptible to cold and sunburn and requires a moisturizing lotion to protect the skin.
