Other names the Chinese Crested is known as are:
• Chinese Edible Dog
• Chinese Ship Dog
• Chinese Hairless
• Chinese Royal Hairless
• Pyramid or Giza Hairless
• South African Hairless
• Turkish Hairless
The “crest” in its name refers to a copious shock of silky hair that graces the dog’s head.
The Chinese Crested is found everywhere, but has never reached great popularity. It has often been exhibited in circuses and carnivals as a “freak.” However, this little dog has many assets that go unrecognized.
There are two types of the Chinese Crested:
• Hairless
• With a full coat, which is called the Powderpuff
The Powderpuff is just about identical to the hairless except for the coat. The two are interbred and shown together. If you breed a hairless to a hairless or a Powderpuff to a hairless you can end up with either type or both types of puppies. Breeding a Powderpuff to a Powderpuff will always produce the Powderpuff type puppies.
Some authors claim the origin of the Chinese Crested is Africa. Others find its origin in Mexico or any of several other warm countries. The Chinese Crested is known to have been carried by trading ships from and to many different ports where it was bought and sold. Therefore, its origin is shrouded by sea tales.
The date of origin of the Chinese Crested is considered to be during the thirteenth century. Oriental countries concentrated on breeding miniaturized dogs, so the Chinese Crested ancestors probably include some of these small, hairless mutations.
The Chinese Crested originally enjoyed a pampered life with few duties except those associated with being a good companion. Very early in the development of the Chinese Crested breed it was probably used as a ratter on trading ships and was even sometimes eaten by human residents of these trading ships (how horribly awful to think of eating such a beautiful creature).
Personality
The Chinese Crested is said to be “a nimble and cunning playmate.” He is a vigilant and sensitive house dog. The Chinese Crested is a loving and obedient pet. He socializes well with other pets and is only a little cautious of strangers. The Chinese Crested is lively and active, but is rarely seen in agility contests. He is easily trained and should do well in obedience work.
Appearance
The Chinese Crested is fine-boned and graceful. He stands about 11 to 13 inches tall and weighs 5 to 12 pounds. He is athletic-looking and well muscled. The legs of a Chinese Crested are straight and strong. The Chinese Crested has a copious shock of silky hair that graces his head. Hair is absent over much of the remainder of its body except for tufts of hair on the tail and feet.
The Powderpuff has a flowing double coat of silky hair that covers its entire body. It is seen in any coat color or combination of colors.
Exercise Requirements
As with most toy breeds the Chinese Crested needs a minimal amount of exercise which can be obtained in your backyard.
Grooming
The Chinese Crested needs to be kept clean with frequent baths using a good shampoo followed by a moisturizer like baby oil or baby lotion. This routine is especially true for the hairless type.
The Powderpuff requires regular brushing and combing. The teeth need cleaning regularly.
You will need a good-quality bristle brush and a safety razor (to shave the face) for the Hairless variety. For the Powderpuff coat you will need a good-quality bristle brush, a wide-toothed comb and clippers.
The skin of the Hairless type responds well to frequent oiling by massaging baby oil or Nivea face cream into the hairless parts. This helps to keep the skin on the Chinese Crested Hairless type smooth and nicely moisturized.
The Powderpuff puppy requires frequent brushing with a bristle or pin brush particularly when the puppy coat changes to the adult coat, at which time daily grooming may be needed. The coat of a Powderpuff Chinese Crested should be brushed in layers with the lie of the coat.
After bathing, grooming and blow-drying, the face should be shaved using clippers (10 mm blade). Take a line from the outer corner of the eye to the ear and in a gentle curve from the ear down to the “Adam’s apple.” This cut is similar to the face of a Poodle. In the U.S. the Powderpuff face is not shaved. Finish off the entire body with a wide-toothed comb if desired. The comb will find any remaining tangles in the coat. Of note in the Chinese Crested is that the dog’s nails should be moderately long.

What’s the secret to getting slim thighs? First, let me tell what it is not. You will never get the legs you want just by using those traditional leg machines at your gym or by doing day after day of boring cardio.
The reality is that you always see people at the gym doing this stuff and never seeing the results they want.
The real secret to getting your thighs slim involves 3 components: 1) proper nutrition, 2) strength training and 3) cardio (but not the typical kind of cardio everyone does).
1. Proper Nutrition: I am going to be honest with you. You will never ever get slimmer thighs if you don’t put the right foods in your body. It doesn’t matter how great your workout routine is or what you may have heard or read. If you eat the wrong foods your body will maintain or store more body fat around your midsection, your arms, your butt and your thighs.
And fat is what blurs the visibility of the underlying muscles. When you have excess body fat you cannot see any muscular definition.
So, if you want to get your thighs slimmer you have to eat enough of the right kinds of nutritious, fat burning foods that will help keep your legs sexy and lean.
A great rule of thumb I tell my clients is to make sure you eat at least 5 small meals each day. But, all 5 are not really “meals”.
3 are meals and 2 are snacks. So, it looks like this:
Breakfast
Snack
Lunch
Snack
Dinner
Getting into the habit of eating more frequently is how you start to boost your metabolism to burn fat so you can begin to get slim thighs much faster than if you eat fewer meals.
2. Strength Training: Usually when I tell women they need strength training to make their thighs slimmer they look at me like they’ve just seen a ghost.
“But, I don’t want to get bulky muscles” is a typical response I get. I don’t know where this myth came from but I want to clarify something here.
Getting “bulky” muscles just from strength training is 100% pure myth. Here’s why. Building the kind of muscle mass that you see on a bodybuilder is absolutely unrealistic for the majority of people especially women.
Women naturally have lower levels of testosterone which makes it more difficult to build muscle mass versus men.
Here is something else to consider. If you want slim thighs with nice “tone” you have to possess a certain level of muscularity anyway.
You can burn all the body fat you want but if you don’t have any real muscle on your legs your slim thighs will look more like toothpicks instead of sexy legs with curves.
That doesn’t mean you will “bulk up”. You simply fit the level of muscularity to match your goal. Adding some lean muscle to your thighs will give you that sexy curvacious appeal you are looking for.
And that comes from intense strength training and not from doing the leg machines at the gym with light weights and lots of repetitions.
You will never get slimmer thighs with nice definition that way. You have to lift heavier and smarter with just the right amount of rest in between to allow your body to recuperate which is when your thighs slim down.
Try these thigh slimming exercises to get you started:
squats
forward lunge walks
sideways lunge walks
box or bench jumps

3. Cardiovascular Training I never said no cardio. I said not the traditional cardio everyone else does. I am going to suggest a different twist on your typical cardio routine that will burn more calories and fat while stimulating your thighs to add some lean, sexy muscle tone.
Getting your thighs slim requires the combination of sufficient muscularity and low body fat.
Your muscles lie underneath a layer of fat cells. Fat cells store body fat. The more fat you carry the bigger your fat cells become and the less visible your muscles are.
So, to see those slim thighs underneath you also need to burn the fat from your fat cells.
Here’s a tip to get you started:
Perform 90% Heart Rate Peaks- Instead of doing the typical marathon cardio workout in your “fat burning zone” you are going to perform a much higher intensity workout but for a shorter time period.
This will allow you to burn more calories and fat long after your workout is over. Here is what you do:
Use the formula 220 – your age to get a number. Now, multiply that number by .85 and write down the product. Next, multiply the number by .75 and write down that product. The 2 products are your low and high end heart rate ranges.
Example for a 35-year old: 220 – 35 = 185
185 X .85 = 157
185 X .75 = 138
Heart rate range would be 138 (low end) to 157 (high end).
You will perform your cardio workout on any piece of equipment of your choice. Warm up for 5 minutes by gradually building your heart rate up to your low end range (138 in the above example).
Then you will increase the intensity until your heart rate peaks at your high end range (157 beats per minute in the above example).
Once you reach your high end range you immediately drop the intensity and recover back down to yoru low end range. Once you reach your low end range peak back up again.
Repeat this process of peaking and recovering for 30 minutes. Then record the total number of times you peaked to your high end range.
The next time you perform this you will try to beat the total number of peaks.
Cool down for 5 minutes by gradually decreasing the intensity until your heart rate is at your low end range or lower.
Stretch for 5-10 minutes.
And there you have it. The real secret to getting slim thighs is by adding some lean fat burning, thigh slimming muscle and dropping your body fat levels low enough to see those sexy trim legs.
