Yes! Chinese Crested dogs are affectionate, playful, and social. They tend to form strong bonds with family members, including children. Early socialization helps them get along well with other pets, making them great companions in multi-pet homes.

Hairless Chinese Crested puppies need special skin care since their exposed skin can be sensitive. Use a gentle dog-friendly moisturizer, protect them from harsh sunlight with pet-safe sunscreen, and bathe them weekly to prevent dryness or irritation.

These puppies do best on a high-quality diet formulated for small breeds. Look for food rich in protein and essential fatty acids to support healthy skin and coat. Avoid table scraps and opt for premium puppy food designed to meet their nutritional needs.

A: Generally, Chinese Cresteds are a long-lived breed with a lifespan of 13–18 years. While they are healthy overall, they are prone to breed-specific issues like Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Primary Lens Luxation (PLL), and dental problems. Choosing a breeder who performs OFA and genetic health screenings significantly reduces these risks.

You should always start with the AKC Marketplace or the American Chinese Crested Club. At Purebred Chinese Crested Puppies, we are proud members in good standing and follow all ethical breeding guidelines to ensure the health and temperament of our puppies.

Absolutely. We encourage all prospective owners to meet the parents of our Chinese Crested puppies either in person at our Florida location or via a scheduled video call to gauge their future temperament and appearance.

The primary difference is the coat. Hairless dogs have smooth skin with hair only on their head, tail, and paws, requiring sunscreen and moisturizer. Powderpuffs have a full, silky double coat that requires regular brushing. Both varieties can be born in the same litter and share the same playful personality.

The price reflects the extensive genetic testing (PLL, PRA, Patellas), high-quality prenatal care, and the specialized socialization (like Puppy Culture) that ethical breeders provide. Investing in a healthy puppy upfront saves thousands in veterinary costs later in life.

On average, a well-bred Chinese Crested puppy for sale from a reputable breeder costs between $1,500 and $3,500. Prices vary based on whether the puppy is a "pet" or "show" prospect, as well as the variety (Hairless vs. Powderpuff).

Yes, we offer safe transportation options for our puppies. While we love for families to pick up their new companion in person, we can arrange for a professional "Flight Nanny" to deliver your puppy to major airports in Florida, Texas, California, and across the USA.
