Brief Features breeds:
In all litters of hairless dogs, some puppies are born with fur and are called "powder puffs." “Powderpuffs” of the Chinese Crested Dog receive a pedigree and participate in exhibitions along with hairless individuals.
“Powder puffs”, like hairless individuals, have practically no characteristic dog odor. After the first change of puppy coat, they no longer shed, and the complete formation of their coat lasts up to 18 months.
Hairless individuals of the Chinese Crested Dog with a thick, abundant tuft often have a belt of rudimentary hair running along the back along the spine, which is removed before the exhibition. Completely naked specimens are also acceptable. In addition, naked individuals with an extreme degree of hairiness can be found - semicotes, which look like “puffs” lightly covered with hair. Anatomically, “powder puffs” and naked individuals are no different from each other. In order to check whether a dog is genetically hairless or a “powder puff”, you just need to look into its mouth. If the dog is hairless, then it has an incomplete set of teeth, some premolars are often missing, the incisors are often not complete and the canines are pointed
forward, and the “powder puffs” have a full set of normal teeth.
CHINESE CREDESTED DOGS
Relatively recently in Russia and in some prosperous countries they learned about the advantages of the rare and once exotic breed of Chinese
Crested dog. The breed has created an unusually strong sensation in the world, everyone who has at least once seen and touched the delicate velvety skin of a hairless dog, or rather who managed to see purebred delightful exhibition representatives, dreams only of this dog in the house, since the sensations received are both visual and manual ones cause uncontrollable admiration. The breed is very ancient, but few in history have had the privilege of owning such a dog. Only the strongest of this world in ancient history, had hairless dogs, not many sources of information are known to history. The dog was almost iconic and few hands felt the warmth of its skin, and few could please their eyes with the outlandish
the beauty of the mane falling and developing as it moves, marveling at the bizarre movements during the dog’s games. Dogs are simply created to surprise and amaze a person, they seem to push you to communicate with them and attract you with the warmth and tenderness of their skin; you just don’t want to let go of this warm, amazing creature.
Chinese Crested dogs amaze with their unusually high intelligence aimed specifically at communicating with a person; they instantly find an approach to a person and can win over anyone, not only with affection, but also with cunning, the ability to tactfully invade a person’s space. Their extraordinary mobility and flexibility of the body, alertness of mind, insight and logic are surprising. One of the breed distinctive features dogs are able to manipulate their front paws, their paws have elongated toes, and dogs often surprise their owners with their ability to use their paws in the most unpredictable situations. They can simply come up to the owner during sleep, or while drinking tea and simply knock on the owner’s knee with their front paws, or even push the sleeping person in the side and wake him up for work in the morning, while standing on hind legs, while the tremors will intensify and become more frequent if the dog is ignored. Thanks to these phenomenal abilities, the dog will never cease to amaze and pleasantly surprise its owner throughout its life; it will easily brighten up leisure time and bring joy from communication to all family members. The breed difference is the complete absence of aggression towards people and animals, while Chinese Cresteds always distinguish “friends” from “strangers” and bestow an innate sociable, playful disposition only on familiar people, and greet strangers with wariness and distrust. This property makes the dog exceptionally picky and loyal, an incorruptible loyal friend, the dog shows a logical mind and will never run headlong into the arms of strangers, which is typical for many ornamental breeds. Outlandish exotic appearance, the alluring tenderness and warmth of the skin, combined with the unusual color and shape of the pigmentation pattern, and the extraordinary property of the breed - the cleanliness of the dog - makes this dog in demand for keeping in an apartment. In addition to all the listed advantages, hairless dogs are famous, and medicinal properties exerted on a person, which will be mentioned below. Exotic Chinese Crested Dogs on this moment are one of the most expensive breeds in the world and are becoming more and more in demand, thanks to their numerous advantages. The breed is very specific in breeding, sometimes the most unexpected results are obtained, the variations in hairlessness and coloring of dogs are almost unpredictable, and therefore a hairless dog with its unique color features, which changes from season to season, the length and quality of the groomed hair, is the pride of the owner who owns such an unusual and an individual dog in every way.
Breed Features:
A small active and graceful dog with a smooth hairless body, with hair only on the paws, head and tail. There is also a downy variety of this breed - a dog covered with soft outer hair, similar to a miniature, spectacular Afghan hound. The Chinese Crested Dog has many advantages. It is a convenient size, clean - does not have a characteristic dog smell and does not shed. Rarely needs veterinary care and whelps easily. It can adapt to both cold and hot climates. This is the uniqueness of the breed. This is a breed for every taste!
The skin of naked individuals is soft and delicate to the touch, just like that of a human baby. U This breed has smooth and warm, and sometimes hot to the touch skin, used both before and now in medicinal purposes"pet therapy, as an analgesic and sedative for headaches, stomach pain, rheumatism, asthma, insomnia. Undoubtedly, the soft warmth of a dog's skin has a calming effect. They effectively relieve stress, are distinguished by a cheerful disposition, deep intelligence, courage and kindness , vigilance, when complete absence aggressiveness.
By the term “pet therapy” (pet in English means “pet”), doctors mean a method of treatment in which animals act as therapeutic agent. These can be cats and horses, chickens and goats, parrots and guinea pigs. Communication with these animals using specially developed methods helps a person to effectively combat various diseases. Leadership in this area, of course, belongs to dogs. And among dogs, the best “doctors” are representatives of the exotic hairless family.
- A dog without hair, by its nature, most fully meets the requirements of this branch of medicine. For centuries, the purpose of hairless dogs was not hunting or home guarding - they were iconic dogs, in whose supernatural qualities the ancient Incas and Aztecs certainly believed. The very appearance of hairless dogs suggests that people needed them in order to bring them joy and heal their souls and bodies. This is evidenced not only by numerous stories about the supernatural bioenergetic and healing abilities of hairless dogs, which have recently appeared quite often on the pages of various periodicals, but also by the data of modern medicine. A hairless dog can please its allergic owner without causing him to have attacks of illness. It will not provoke an asthma attack or eczema. Like a living heating pad (its body temperature is 40.5 degrees), it will ease the suffering of a patient with radiculitis. It is believed that these dogs have a positive effect on hypertensive patients, are a guardian talisman for the home, and have healing properties.
In almost every litter of hairless dogs, along with hairless dogs, one or two “wool” puppies are born - they are called “puff puppies”. Later, when mated with “naked” ones, they produce hairless offspring. Geneticists and dog experts believe that mating hairless dogs with “puffs” strengthens the breed. The Argentine scientist Carlos Rusconi, who studied the characteristics of hairless dogs and drew attention to the absence of some teeth, came to the conclusion that this anomaly characterizes hairless dogs. Dental abnormalities in hairless dogs are not a disqualifying feature. In the breed, quite often there are dogs with reduced canines, which differ little from incisors; in the shape of a blunt wedge, they are more reminiscent of human canines.
*** The “hairless variety,” with a luxurious crest, may have excess fur on the upper back, shoulders and hips. As a rule, this hair is removed to the limits prescribed by the standard. A hairless variety with a rich crest looks more impressive than the same dog with sparse hair on the top of its head. Although the standard does not stipulate the priority value of the Ukrainian. The color can be absolutely any, both variegated and plain. Blue - from almost black - to steel gray or even lilac. Mahogany - from dark liver to honey. The color intensity depends on the season. The skin of hairless dogs, like human skin, is sensitive to the effects of sunlight; it tans, acquiring different shades. When sunbathing, their skin reaches its richest tone.
*** · “Down jackets” may have different structure wool There are both soft and more elastic hair. Like very long 7-15 cm,
and an average length of 4 -7 cm, and short ones growing only 3 - 4 cm. Regardless of the coat, the dogs must have the correct build. Downy wool is similar in structure to human hair, does not shed or cause allergic reactions. The color of the puffballs changes with age. Yes, from black and white dog blue may grow, and bronze may grow into white. There is also a shading effect. It is produced by the darker outer hair that grows until the coat reaches maturity. Moreover, the nose and eye color always harmonize with the color. And if the nose should be completely colored, then the pigmentation of the eyelids may be absent or partially absent.
The desired size is a height of 23-33 cm and a weight of no more than 5 kg. Both large, heavy and excessively small dogs not desirable.
The teeth of this breed are not like all the others - hairless dogs may have premolars completely absent. The incisors are usually not complete, and the lower canines are inclined forward, like small tusks.
The hairless gene is dominant - this means that if you breed any shaggy dog to a hairless dog, you can get hairless puppies.
Chinese Cresteds should never be angry or aggressive. However, they are wary of strangers, but this should not be confused with timidity or aggressiveness.
The ease of maintenance makes this breed more and more popular. People who suffer from allergies, asthma and dream of owning a dog can finally make their dream come true.
Chinese Crested Dog needs frequent washing- once every 7 - 10 days as pollution occurs; her skin sometimes has to be lubricated with baby creams so that it does not crack and is smooth to the touch. Also not pigmented pale skin must be protected from sunburn. Facial hair and whiskers are usually removed.
*** And yet, no matter how pleasant it is to keep the Chinese Crested in the form pet, you will definitely enjoy participating with your pet in various dog shows. When buying a puppy, people often say: “I’m for myself, I don’t need exhibitions.” But time passes, and if you
After consulting with well-known and experienced people in the breed, you spared no expense and purchased a dog from well-known, titled producers. If you conscientiously and carefully followed all the recommendations of your breeder, you will see for yourself that the miracle that has grown in your hands is impossible not to show to other people. And the first victories will encourage you to participate in subsequent exhibitions to achieve new victories. Your pet's success in the ring will bring you great pleasure. Don't we rejoice at the success of our children? But dogs are often the same children. By the way, Lately actively developing the new kind tourism - trips with a dog to various foreign exhibitions.
