🍫Milkyway is a wild and free-spirited Chinese Crested girl who lives life on her own terms. With her windswept hair and sparkling eyes, she’s a little burst of cosmic energy—always in motion, always exploring. She’s the kind of pup who chases butterflies and finds adventure in the most unexpected places. Milkyway doesn’t follow the rules—she creates them. Bold, quirky, and full of life, she’s a star in her own galaxy and expects you to keep up.

🦨Skunk is a spunky little Chinese Crested boy with a big attitude and even bigger opinions. He’s playful to the core—zooming around the house, pouncing on toys, and keeping everyone entertained with his antics. But don’t let the fun fool you—Skunk is also a bit of a critic. With his squinty side-eye and perfectly timed head tilts, he’s always silently judging your choicesEqual parts goofy and sassy, Skunk is the kind of pup who makes you laugh, then makes you wonder if he’s secretly running the house. Spoiler: he probably is.

We are down to our last three pups 💙

If you are looking for a breed with hair, consider these guys before you go with a Chi/pom/doodle, etc.

The puffs are wonderful little dogs that can make a great addition to any home and are often overlooked.

Puppies checking in. These brothers formerly known as Zebra 🦓 and Penguin🐧 went together.

(yes owners were prepared and educated to train and socialize them separately and have done so to ensure they don’t have issues later on- A long discussion was had before they went home together.)

When most people think of a Chinese Crested, they envision the striking, nearly-naked appearance of the hairless variety. But there's another version of this breed that's equally lovable, equally unique, and often overlooked: the Powderpuff. With their soft, flowing coats and affectionate personalities, Powderpuffs are every bit as wonderful as their hairless counterparts — and here’s why.

Uniquely Beautiful
While hairless Cresteds get a lot of attention for their distinct look, Powderpuffs are breathtaking in their own right. Their long, silky hair can come in a variety of colors and patterns, giving them a striking and elegant appearance. Plus, that flowing coat adds a softness that makes them extra cuddly.

Low-Maintenance Skin
Hairless Chinese Cresteds require diligent skincare routines to prevent acne, sunburn, and other skin issues. Powderpuffs, on the other hand, have a protective coat that provides a natural barrier against environmental irritants. Regular brushing keeps their fur tangle-free and gorgeous, making them a bit easier to maintain than their hairless siblings.

Equally Playful and Loving
Despite their physical differences, Powderpuffs and Hairless Cresteds share the same playful, affectionate temperament. They are both incredibly devoted to their families, intelligent, and great with kids. Powderpuffs are just as likely to curl up in your lap, dance for attention, or romp around with toys as their hairless counterparts.

Less Prone to Skin Allergies
While hairless Cresteds can be prone to skin sensitivities, Powderpuffs are less likely to suffer from these issues thanks to their protective coat. This can be a significant advantage for potential pet parents who are concerned about skin conditions or sun exposure.

Versatility in Weather
The Powderpuff’s coat also provides a bit more insulation, making them slightly more comfortable in cooler weather than their hairless counterparts. While both varieties will still need coats in extreme cold, Powderpuffs are less likely to shiver at the first gust of wind.

In conclusion, Powderpuff Chinese Cresteds are not just the "furry siblings" of the hairless variety — they are exceptional dogs in their own right. With their stunning appearance, easygoing grooming routine, and loving nature, they make just as wonderful companions. So, the next time you consider this breed, don’t overlook the Powderpuff — they might just steal your heart.
