This cute Chinese Crested was plopped on mom’s lap waiting her turn in the ring at the Burlington County Kennel Club Dog Show a few weeks ago.  The handler was wearing a pretty white dress with dragonflies on it and with a white dog in tow they looked very classy.  The Chinese Crested comes in 2 varieties – hairless and powder puff.  Interestingly enough,  some of each can be born in the same litter!  This is the hairless variety.  Most of the dog’s body is hairless with the exception of the head, feet and tail.   Being a hairless breed requires extra attention to the skin.  For example, their skin can get sunburned and so extra caution must be taken and sunscreen applied.   They also get cold in the winter more easily.  I think they are so adorable!
