The detail
A toy breed that comes in two varieties: the Hairless, with silky hair on the head, tail and feet, and the Powderpuff, with a full soft coat. Affectionate, playful and devoted, the Crested wants to be with its person and does poorly left alone.

- Temperament
- Affectionate, playful, alert
What to weigh
Hairless Cresteds need sunscreen, coats and skin care, and often have missing teeth. Powderpuffs need regular brushing. Both are clingy and prone to separation anxiety.
