I'm sorry to hear about your loss. God bless.

Since we are talking about dogs and breeding and "what not", has anyone had a Chinese Crested or knows someone who has?

I think they are AKC approval.

I'm curious about their origin and temperaments.

free kitty, good luck in your search.

I know Crested owners.

They’re very nice charming dogs but you have to accept that the gene that causes hairlessness also affects dentition.

They will lose their teeth.

The “Powderpuff” version who have more hair have better luck keeping their teeth.

They have been an AKC breed for quite a while.

They were pets of Chinese royalty.

I believe Chinese Cresteds got their start in China.

But seriously, had a customer years ago who had one, and it was damn ugly but she loved that dog. I recall she had framed photos of her former GSD dog adorning her apt which she couldn't replace due to her health. She had Systemic Lupus and was thus hypersensitive to many irritants including pet dander and the CC was the only choice for her. It was docile, if a little fearful of strangers, tho not yappy in my presence. But it was clearly very loyal to her and low maintenance she always said.
