Hello, I joined the forum with my friend Cesarmonkey who got her introduction in first!
I have three Chinese Cresteds - Holly who is my oldest and is a little over 12 1/2 years old, Hawk who is 4 and Krissy who just turned 10. I am a very strong supporter of rescue since that is how my little Krissy came to me over seven years ago.
Holly is a Powder Puff - the fully coated version of the breed. Krissy is what is known as a Hairy Hairless who has full furnishings and body hair which must be shaved and Hawk is a True Hairless and has sparser furnishings and no real body hair. It is interesting to have the full spectrum of the breed. If you ask about grooming, the True Hairless is the easiest as you might imagine!
I love Cresteds but haven't always been a small dog person. I spent most of my life with Great Pyrenees, a truly magnificent breed in every way. My three Pyr boys are now waiting at the Bridge for me but always held close in my heart.
