This breed occurs in two varieties, the hairless and powder puff. The hairless dog possesses the trademark top knot of long silky hair, feathers on the legs and plumed tail. The skin is soft and smooth. Light-skinned dogs will be susceptible to sunburn. The powder puff variety is structurally identical to the hairless, the only difference is the full coat. The hairless variety is very sensitive to the cold.

The Chinese Crested is loving and outgoing and gets along well with children and other animals. They are quiet in the house, preferring to be with their owners.
