    Chinese Crested

    The Chinese Crested is one of the most easily recognisable dogs on the planet with their hairless bodies and delightful tufts found around their faces ears necks and lower legs. However these hairless dogs are not the only type of Chinese Crested because there's a Powder Puff too and they boast having an undercoat that's covered in an ultra-soft veil of longish hair.
