Dog Breeders Upstate Ny Q&A
Where can I adopt a Chinese crested dog as a pet?
I'm looking for a housepet, not a show dog, so I don't care if he or she meets the "breed standard." I'd like a dog that is friendly, though. I'm looking for a dog that is basically healthy, but I don't mind a dog that is "funny looking." (I find some of the more unusual-looking Chinese crested dogs quite charming.) Children live in my house part of the week, so the dog should be good with older, gentle kids. I've already checked my local SPCA. Are there any reputable breeders or rescue agencies I should contact? I live in upstate NY. I have owned dogs before (but have none currently).
Petfinder is a good place to look, especially for adult rescues
but if you are looking for a puppy for a pet, then the show breeder who does health screening is the place to search for one, if you want a healthy pup with little to no chance of having genetic health issues,
This is a a breed that can have a lot of serious genetic health problems one of the worse is Legge calve perthes, where ball of the hip bone literally rots away, usually becomes noticeable around 2 years old on xray http://www.vetinfo.com/dencyclopedia/deleggcp.html
Going thru a good show breeder is not about getting a good looking dog but trying to get a healthy one, they are cheaper to buy from than the puppymill one in the pet store which is often very poorly bred.
I am not sure how much research you have done, but a look of people thing because they are hairless that very little grooming in needed where in fact the need more than most other breed, like baths 3 times a week, followed by moisturizer, they also get hairy faces that to look good need to be shaved the hairly hairless also grows patches of hair on their bodies , they need suncreen to prevent burning
Here is a welbsite that discusses care and grooming
