    Chinese crested's - difference between hairless and powder puff

    I was just wondering if there is a difference in temprement between the powder puffs and hairless, or is hair the only difference between them?

    There are a few differences between them but regarding tempermants - I have always seen the puffs are more out going, more bold, fearless ect - where as the hairless can be a wee bit stand offish with strangers.

    Puffs can be shown with erect or dropped ears, and have a full mouth of correct dention like any other breed - unlike the hairless that have point forward tusk instead of canines, and can also have missing teeth, their teeth are slightly smaller to (this is all linked to the hairless gene - which is why it doesnt affect the puffs).

    Thats brilliant - its not unheard of but like I said HL 'can' be stand offish with strangers - maybe its something you 'may' see as they get older - CC pups do generally love everyone and everything - of course the raising of the pups and socalisation they get plays a massive part!

    well they do get a heck of a lot of socialisation i have 5 children aged between 18months and 13 who spend a lot time with them everyday and they do the school run with me in a little doggie back back until they have their last jabs so have lots of people wanting to meet them so that is probably why then i will however watch out for the issues you have mentioned arrising as i love them very much and wouldn't want to stress them at all
