Chinese Crested
The Chinese Crested is an exotic and distinctive toy breed known for its hairless body and tufts of fur on the head, tail, and paws. They come in two varieties—the Hairless and the Powderpuff—and are cherished as devoted, lively companions who love to cuddle. Despite their elegant appearance, they are surprisingly athletic and excel in agility and performance events.
