2. Chinese Crested

The Chinese Crested is instantly spotted by its plume of hair and speckled skin. Lively and affectionate, it suits families seeking a low-shedding companion. Two varieties exist: Hairless, which sports tufts on head, feet, and tail, and Powderpuff, which wears a full silky coat. Surprisingly agile, they excel at agility trials and thrive in apartments. Bright and eager to please, they learn tricks quickly and bond closely with their people.
