Temperamento

Chinese Crested Dogs are known for their friendly and playful demeanor, often forming strong bonds with their families. They are affectionate and thrive on human interaction, making them wonderful companions for children and adults alike. Though they can be a bit reserved around strangers, their charming personality shines through with those they trust. With moderate energy levels, they enjoy playtime but are also content to cuddle up on the couch.

Consideraciones de Salud

The Chinese Crested Dog is generally a healthy breed, but it is prone to certain genetic conditions and health issues. Common concerns include dental problems, as their teeth are often smaller and more prone to decay, so regular dental care is essential. They can also be susceptible to skin issues, particularly sunburn in the hairless variety, making sunscreen or protective clothing important for outdoor activities. Patellar luxation (dislocated kneecap) is another condition that can affect this breed, so monitoring mobility and consulting a veterinarian if issues arise is crucial. Eye problems such as progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) may also occur, so regular eye screenings are recommended. Lifespan typically ranges from 12 to 14 years. Preventive care, including regular checkups, vaccinations, and a balanced diet, can help ensure a long and healthy life for this breed.
