Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
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.

Having a 5 month old Crested puppy, I purchased this book to find out more about the breed, and I did. Yes, you can surf the web and get info, but in this book, the information is all together in one spot. The book is well organized and gives general information on almost every topic. What I liked about this book over other books is the fact that the book gives the differences between the hairless and the powderpuff, which is what my puppy is. For every new Crested owner, this is a great reference book.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Excellent detail oriented breed book for Chinese Cresteds. Lots of wonderful background information on where the breed originated. This is a must have for anyone considering or even who owns a Chinese Crested. One of the much better written breed books.

I purchased a hairless Chinese Crested. First, I read this book. The 8 week old pup I had flown to me developed coccidia (stress of weaning, leaving mom, travel, new home, new owners) after two days, which then led to hypoglycemia (stopped eating and blood sugar crashed) and died within one week. This book doesn't stress the fact that "toy" puppies can easily have this problem and what to do at the early signs to save its life. Unfortunately, my Vet didn't know what to do either. I learned from surfing the web, after the problem. That would be your best bet to learn about this breed, including possible problems that the book does not cover.
