GoldFlame.ru - Portal about the breed Chinese Crested Dog

When our house was born the next litter, which were fluffy puppies, I thought ... Why do not people ask "feather"? Why the sale of puppies potential buyers are interested only in bare puppies? Maybe people just do not know about such a wonderful variety of Chinese Crested as a feather bed?

In our breed, there are two varieties of Chinese Crested dog - a naked and downy. Naked representative always amazes with its unusual appearance and attracts the views of outsiders. Their naked bodies in conjunction with a luxurious mane, bushy tail and boots - it's a real workhorse, but only in miniature.

Very often bare representatives overshadow their beauty and attractiveness, not least a beautiful variety of this parody - "feather" (Powder Puff). About them we want to talk about in this article.

Why then are born naked or downy puppies?

Is responsible for this so-called "naked" gene, just its presence or its absence is responsible for what will be a puppy at birth - feather or naked.
I must say, that by itself the "naked" gene is lethal. Therefore, if used at a dilution of only bare representatives, then over time the breed just simply die. To this has not happened in a dilution of the vital need to use downy representatives of the breed. "Down" gene is recessive and usually have a down bitch born more fluffy puppies than naked. Although there are exceptions, of two naked parents can be born puppies down.

Advantages of downy representatives.

• Feather beds are a great dropdown wool, they can be absolutely any color. Down jacket can have a one-color paint or a combination of two or more colors. When the dog runs or is her hair flowing, rising up and down. Feather is often compared with miniature Afghan hounds.
• Coat of puhovichkov very soft and pleasant to the touch. It has no undercoat, and they have poorly expressed molt. Chinese Crested dog breeds do not cause an allergic reaction, including feather beds. Wool on the structure is very similar to human hair just more fluffy. Many owners use it for medicinal purposes: knit belt and socks.
• Down jacket - a complete dog in the truest sense of the word. We are padded with a full set of incisors and other teeth, unlike its neighbor naked. Down jackets do not freeze like naked, they do not have to bother with dressing and clothing. They are always willing to take long walks with my loving master almost any time of year.
• The advantages of the breed include its compactness. The dog is not large - up to 5,5 kg. And when you consider that today in the cities due to massive building and walk a dog from nowhere, the little dog suit and a small area for walking.
• As a consequence of the above, with no large dogs will cope even a child.

Myths about the feather bed.

Most people believe that the feather beds should be born in each litter, to warm their naked brothers and sisters. But it is not so! Down jackets are not born in each litter.

Many argue: "I will take a naked dog for her care less, and then with feather much hassle." I believe that care must be for any dog, whether she's naked, smooth or longhaired. At any dog to spend your precious time!

Down by the representatives exhibited in the same ring with bare representatives. They do not divide. This is one breed. Feather beds, such as Chinese crested, like naked. Just bare more exotic.

Sure down by the representatives not glamorous, as bare, but they can be knit tails on their heads, braid or pigtail. Buy a lot of different rezinochek and bows and your dog will always be in the spotlight. You can also cut puhovochku to any hairstyle, do not be limited only to the standard haircut "on a bare." You can highlight your head and make a square, can be done on foot flares, not only with the full leg, but just the beginning of his feet. Can be anything you like! Only your imagination and your imagination limits you the number of barber haircuts.

In general, Chinese crested breed is unique. Look, what a great choice offers us the nature, puppies can be: bare or downy, male or female, but with color in general expanse, to suit every taste. Therefore, if you decide to have a dog of this breed, choosing a puppy sure to pay attention to the feather!
