Weighing up to 18 pounds this affectionate, attention seeking dog can be a loyal companion for up to 14 years. The Chinese Crested derives from both the Hairless and the Powderpuff, therefore the Pugese fur can be a shorter single coat with exposed skin or a wooly longer double coat that will need constant grooming. Exposed skin needs special care like moisturizing, frequent bathing and sunblock when outdoors to prevent sunburn.
