These little bouncy-balls are completely hairless (we affectionately call them 'rubber tires'), unlike the more commonly known Chinese Crested which have tufts of hair. Also, this breed has none of the health problems associated with Cresteds. They are very sweet dogs, exemplifying the phrase 'Happy-Go-Lucky'. They've been raised in our home with us, and have been well-socialized with our many children and pets (dogs, cats, birds, even farm animals!).
