When, Where and How I Got My Chinese Crested
I got my female as an adult. I adopted her from a family that had a small child that was afraid of her. I bought my male as a puppy from a show breeder, that adheres to breed standards and loves the breed.
I'd Describe My Dog As…
The personality of the Chinese Crested is like a intelligent child that loves to run and play. The breed also loves to cuddle on the couch and is very loving and loyal. I have not had a medical problem or problems with house breaking. I have studied dog behavior. If you become a dog whisperer, and speak and understand dog language, you will be able to have any dog behave properly with you and your family. If you are not a dog whisperer then get the information you need to become one. Otherwise, the intelligent dogs will do as they please, and lead you. They must have dos and dont's in their lives and games to play. Daily exercise is a must. Backyards and houses are not enough for the curious nomad minds of dogs. They want to be with you and see the world.
