The Crested’s appearance definitely sets it apart from its peers. These dogs have wedge-shaped heads, long muzzles, and erect ears, along with a body covered in spotted pink skin.
The longer paws on the Chinese Crested are often described as ‘hare-like’, compared to the oval feet most dogs have.
These dogs remain small even as adults, as mentioned above they reach only up to 11 to 13 inches (27 to 33 cm) in height and weighing 5 to 12 pounds (2 to 5 kg) when they stop growing. They’re often described as having ‘fine-boned elegance.’
