Chinese Crested

The Chinese Crested Dog is a small companion breed famous for its unusual appearance, affectionate nature, and lively personality. The breed comes in two varieties: the Hairless variety, which has smooth exposed skin with hair on the head, feet, and tail, and the Powderpuff variety, which has a soft full coat. Their elegant appearance and loving temperament make them popular companion dogs around the world.

Chinese Crested Dogs are small, graceful, and highly social dogs that form strong bonds with their families. They are known for being affectionate, playful, and friendly with people, often enjoying cuddling and spending time close to their owners. Their adaptable nature makes them suitable for apartments as well as larger homes.

This breed is intelligent and relatively easy to train using positive reinforcement and gentle handling. Chinese Cresteds enjoy playtime, short walks, and interactive indoor activities but generally do not require intense exercise. They are sensitive dogs that thrive in warm environments and may need extra skin care or clothing in colder weather.

Hairless Chinese Cresteds require regular skin care to protect against dryness, sunburn, and irritation, while the Powderpuff variety needs routine brushing to prevent matting. Both varieties benefit from regular dental care, grooming, and veterinary checkups.

The Chinese Crested dog price in India typically ranges between ₹30,000 to ₹70,000 depending on breeder quality, lineage, and location. Monthly maintenance costs range from ₹4,000 to ₹10,000+ including food and healthcare.
