Chinese Crested

The Chinese Crested Dog is one of the strangest and most curious dogs in the world. Small, responsive, well-built, agile, it comes in two different types in the two varieties: the "hairless" type, elegant and with a thin frame and the "powderpuff" type with the heavier frame. The head is smooth, without wrinkles, with well chiseled cheeks, a slightly pronounced stop but not excessive. The eyes should be very dark, almost black. The ears are large and erect, with or without bangs, except in the variety with hair for which hanging ears are allowed. The members are long and straight. The tail is carried high and has a long, drooping plume.
