The Chinese Crested, often called the Crested or CC, is a beloved breed with a rich history.
The Chinese Crested is a small, unique-looking breed that comes in two distinct varieties: Hairless, with smooth skin and tufts of hair on the head, tail, and feet, and Powderpuff, which has a full coat of soft, silky fur. Despite the name, the breed’s exact origin is debated, with evidence suggesting ties to Africa or Central America. Chinese sailors are believed to have bred them as rat hunters on ships, spreading the breed worldwide. The Chinese Crested gained its name during its time in China and has since become a cherished companion for its loyal and loving nature.
