Oh. My. Goodness. Y’all.
LOOK AT HER😩
Penelope is just the picture of joy and love🤍
For those of you looking at your screen wondering “what in the world is that thing?!” This is miss Penelope, she is a Chinese Crested filled with sugar and kisses🥰
We don’t often get to see these breeds very much, they’re few and far between- some of us in the shop today having never met one in person until today! I have been lucky enough to have now met two cresteds in my life and they both had the same affectionate personality!💕
Now some fun facts about their breed that I’ve learned over the years of my dog breed knowledge obsession😁
Chinese Cresteds actually aren’t always hairless! They can have a hairless coat with hair growing on the tops of their heads, feet and tail (with a few wild hairs here and there😂)
If they do end up having a full fur coat, they are knows as, get this, POWDERPUFFS! Now tell me that’s not the cutest thing ever🥹
Despite being hairless, they do require daily skin care to keep them healthy, such as sunscreen, lotion and baby oils!
They are a toy breed so they don’t usually get much bigger than miss Penelope here!
Chinese Cresteds aren’t the only hairless breed in the world, there are actually quite a few! You have the Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican Hairless Dog) which is more of a medium size breed (This dog actually made its debut in the Disney movie CoCo). Another is the American Hairless Terrier which is also a toy breed that resembles a rat terrier, buuuuut they’re missing a little something- maybe the hair😂
Regardless of breed or size, we truly love them all! Thank you to Penelope’s mom for trusting us with her, we can’t wait to see her back🤍
