The similarities in conformation between the Chinese Cresteds and hairless African dogs suggests that they may be distantly related. Matings between hairless Cresteds often produce the coated variety called "powder-puffs". These dogs are loyal, affectionate and make good companions. They need protection from both cold and heat. Their coat comes in many different colors; pink, lilac, gold, and blue are the most common. These dogs weigh 5 to 12 lbs. and stand 9-13" at the shoulders.
