Need some Help with somethin...
« on: November 28, 2005, 03:06:22 am »
As some of you know, i've been on a mad search for a white female bull terrier, to show alongside my Zero bug... we have found a breeder who sounds terrific... and im very happy with the disision of the breeder we chose....
Anyway, we also were thinking about getting a Chinese Crested dog... you know, those completely weird lookin- but so cute and irrisistable, hairless toy breeds...  we are not sure right now of which breed we want to bring to the house hold... i know im afraid of zero hurting the toy breed...  but he IS great with all other dogs... but... i'd like some opinions... thanks

I have always loved Chinese Cresteds  :) Maybe since Zero will be raised with it he will understand how to be gentle around it? I never thought my 2 big guys would be so gentle with Diesel, but its almost like they can tell. Good luck with ever you decide, but remember I want PICS  ;D

My 2 dobes absolutely adore my little rattie puppy. They even play a little rough with her at times, but never hurt her, and she eats it up! Chinese cresteds are kind of feisty, and aren't all that fragile, so if you decide to get one, I'm sure that Zero would recognize it as a 'family member' and treat it as so.

I love Chinese cresteds, and plan on getting one down the road.  Zero should have no problems getting along with it if he already is fine with little dogs.  I know of someone that has a pit/kelpie mix and he gets along great with her crested.

But I would really research the breed before getting them.  They need alot of extra skin care due to their being naked (unless you would get a powder puff).   Most need weekly baths, skin treatments, moisturizers, and especially sunblock. It will need to have a full wardrobe b/c they get cold easily.  They need special care taken of their teeth b/c most loose their teeth by the time they are 4 yrs old.
