On March 17th, 2012 I drove 2 hours to the small town of Spruce Grove, outside of Edmonton, Alberta, to pick up my 8 week old Chinese Crested (hairy hairless) boy. I have been infatuated with the Chinese Crested breed since I was first introduced to them, at the age of 12, by a Dog Breed Encyclopedia I had read front to back, back to front multiple times.
To give you some background, I have grown up with large breeds mainly, ranging from mutts to Keeshonds', Collies to Pitbulls and Great Danes. I have never been a "small breed person" and yet the Chinese Crested draws me in with their amazing, quirky personalities and incredible sense of intelligence. They are kind and caring, extremely loyal but friendly to all, spunky but cuddly and very good on my allergies!
Here begins my life with Yoshi, born January 22nd, 2012 in Spruce Grove, Alberta. Feel free to tag along as I learn about all the joys and pitfalls of training a 2.5lb puppy to be a respectable 7-10lb adult member of canine society, plus learn about skin care, grooming and appropriate food for a breed known to have many allergies.
