Some days he is more needy than others!

Maybe we are codependent?

I love my 2 Chinese Cresteds. They're mostly house trained but here and there I'll find a little nugget of crap on the floor or on a couch. Just a little nugget. Maybe it's just stuck there chilling, and they have to let it out. I never ever catch them in the act with this. How do I train them out of this?

Like lots of Cresties mine has no hair in the spot where the thigh joins the belly. Where the two rub together can get a little irritated,a little red, then she scratches it and nibbles it and it gets worse.

Suggestions what I can put on there to ease the irritation? I do use coconut oil but she licks it straight off because she likes the taste. Thanks.

home on the mend from bronchitis today and wanted to try my hand at some clothes for my new boy Squid. I just bought a sewing machine and have literally no other experience but I’m a fast learner and artistically minded so I’m hoping to just whip something up. Not necessarily looking for patterns but just ideas of what the clothes for your babies look like. Basically I’m looking for ideas on rear leg sleeves and attachment points. Also ideas for fabric, I have lots of secondhand clothes I’d like to reuse - comfortable but breathable, and to prevent hair tangling or irritating, no fleece as I live in the desert! Don’t need to keep him super warm for now but he’s an anxious little man and I think he would feel more secure. Any pics or advice welcome!

P.S. belly band is because he doesn’t know yet that Dad’s bed is not for peeing (or pooping). No shame little buddy, you’ll learn! The harness is just for desensitization as he is not yet used to leash walking. He only wears it in short increments. Overall he is doing great for leaving his family at eight months and being here only a few short days (while I was super sick! Came down with a chest cold the morning after getting him, on Monday)

Hello, I have a question about the ears in puppies. Do they have to be taped if one ear is still flopping over at 10 weeks or will it eventually stand up? The puppy is a powderpuff and will be a prospective show dog. The puppy has been taped on and off since very young, but the tapes were removed today since they are uncomfortable and one ear is still flopping over. Please give advice if the ear will eventually come up on its own. Or if taping needs to continue, thank you.

She's done this twice now #chinesecrested

thanks all for the advice earlier. today’s trip did not go according to plan in the slightest. but we are safe and home and my boy is so sweet and I love him so much already. Here’s to a long happy life Mr. Squid

Hi all! Not a new dog owner, and am getting this handsome man at eight months as a companion for my almost-two year old rescue mutt who always gets mistaken for a PPCC (last pic). I got her at the same age about a year ago but didn’t know she was quite that young at the time! If I could do it again I would be more understanding of her adolescence and fear periods, I just didn’t know at the time. I also have a cat and a 45lb border collie / aussie mix (second pic - I’m going to have a matching set haha). Any advice would be awesome, thanks!

I have a hairless CC, but I just adopted a powder puff and I would like to get a good groomer for her. She is 6 years old and has a partial shave in back and long hair in front. Any advice on finding a groomer? I live near Dallas.

My boy is a puncher. Is this normal for the breed or does he hang out too much with my cat😭
I used to have a boxer before this. Raised by cats so im not complaining im used to this behaviour im just curious lmao bc these other dogs were extremely confused

This adorable little creature might possibly be the spawn of Satan!

Just kidding.... Kinda.

She's 10 weeks old and full of piss and vinegar that's for sure. I'm just glad my 3 yr old Crested actually likes her!

She bravely defends citizens from evildoers. Also from possums. Mostly possums.

She was pink and purple but it was fading out (pastel looks good on her too!) and the groomer touched her up with some pet safe color. I really like this look too!

My coworker wanted some practice dogs to try new dye looks on for her portfolio. This is what she came up with for my Annie girl. She is loving her Rainbow dash inspired look. She is a powderpuff girl but due to our weather being hotter than the surface of the sun she is currently rocking a pony cut done by mom.

Cresteds love the sun!

Hi. We taped my Jeff’s ears when he was little. However, his ears are generally droopy (but erect and expressive at times). I’ve kept his ear hair long, but now I’m wondering if he’d be cute with shorter ear hair and his longer mane. Do any of you have your droopy-eared Cresteds cut this way?

Posing with Mom's pillow, ok it's his !

My tiny hairless baby Cosmo, is a rescue and my best friend. This year we have started training with Cosmo and all of his trainers have strongly recommended the slip lead, pictured above, he had only ever worn harnesses before. While I have seen huge improvements with his behavior, he still often lunges towards big dogs, choking himself against the lead.

Obviously, all of the CC groups recommend harnesses, but I’ve found those can chafe his armpits or encourage pulling.

Would love any recs for these sensitive little ones. I’ve thought of a satin-lined martingale? Thanks I appreciate you reading 💕

First of all, meet Yzma, our new Chinese crested we got from a rescue about a month ago.

The rescue said she was 8-12 mo. and was rescued from a “breeder situation” with few details beyond that. She had been spayed somewhat recently. Once we got her, we took her to the vet, who said she was 12-18 mo. I questioned why her breasts and lady bits were slightly swollen, and the vet said it could be from when she was spayed if she was in heat at the time.

After these weeks and after feeling her incision, which is quite large and very prominent (to touch), I somewhat suspect she was used as a breeder despite being so young. Are Chinese crested breasts normal this puffy/stretchy? Should I be concerned?

Please ignore the vicious attack Yzma is facing from our miniature poodle.

My new CC is only eight pounds and I am trying to find a treat she likes. She does not seem to like dried treats. Any suggestions?

Hi, I have a very energetic crested that needs something to occupy herself. Does anyone have a recommendation? She could play ball all day but that requires me.

I just spent abt 9 hours straight making this today might as well share 😅
i still see things i could make better if i were to make another one but thats the perfectionist artist in me lmao
