History (ChineseCrestdDog), also known as, Chinese Nude Dog , Chinese edible dog, Chinese Royal naked dog, Chinese boat dog and other names, their origins are different. The Chinese crested dog is not a Chinese dog, but when the dog was named, Westerners believed that the dog's crest resembled the hat of an official in the Qing Dynasty in China, hence the name. The origin of this dog is different. Mexican scholars who study dogs believe that the hairless dog in the Americas came from China, and more specifically pointed out that the time when it was introduced to the Americas from China was 1580-1600. Some believe that it originated in Africa, and it evolved from the African naked dog. Some people think that it came from Turkey and evolved from Turkish hairless dogs. Others believe that it was brought by Chinese navigators and sailors during their voyages centuries ago, and when they stopped at various ports and docks along the way, they traded the dog with port merchants, and thus spread everywhere. Therefore, this kind of dog has been handed down in various ancient port cities in the world. There are not many crested dogs now, but there are still many bred in the United Kingdom and the United States, and they are highly valued by local associations and dog breeders. Some zoologists classify Chinese crested dogs as African dogs because some hairless mammals come from Africa. Crested dogs are a rare breed among dogs, and geneticists are more interested in them. This dog is hairless, but a hairy one can appear in a litter of puppies born by a bitch, and this hairy one is considered not a purebred and eliminated. Geneticists have been studying the mystery. This dog is precious because it is very rare, and at the same time its strange appearance increases its value. It has a hairless body, but a tuft of long hair grows on its head, which looks very cute.

Origin Originated in China, Originated in 100 BC, this breed was already prominent as early as the Han Dynasty.

It is small in size, gentle and clean, odorless, beautiful in shape, kind and lovely, can perform, and is highly ornamental. Although it does not have much hair on its body, it has a strong ability to adapt to the cold and heat of the climate. According to research, this dog has its own heating system, and the central nervous system can automatically operate to regulate body temperature. Its body temperature is about 2 degrees higher than that of humans, and the body temperature will also rise a little after eating. It is suitable for companionship with children, suitable for urban breeding, not suitable for hot weather, difficult to adapt to cold climates, and does not require frequent grooming. Crested dogs also have a unique physiological characteristic. General dogs need to breathe to dissipate heat, and some also need to open their mouths and stick out their tongues to dissipate heat, but crested dogs are very special. , its skin communicates with sweat glands, which can sweat directly from the skin. Therefore, the breeder should bathe it often, and should apply some baby skin oil to it to make its skin smooth. Because the skin of this kind of dog is bare and hairless, special attention should be paid to the protection of its skin: firstly, it is necessary to prevent the collision of sharp objects and the scalding of high-temperature liquids; secondly, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. The front paws of the Chinese Crested Dog are very flexible and can grab objects like a human. Especially when it hugs its front feet together, it is almost like a person's hands together, which is amazing. In addition, its skin color can change with the seasons: in summer, its skin color is light; as the weather gets colder, its skin color will gradually deepen to dark gray, but after the spring of next year, it will gradually change with As the temperature gradually warms, it will gradually fade to light gray-yellow, and become lighter in summer. |
