Early socialization and training is encouraged to help your Chinese Crested grow into a well-adjusted and well-behaved buddy. They’re prone to strong attachments and training is a great way to establish yourself as their master. Start with the basics, like sit stay, come and potty. Once those are out of the way, you can work on more complicated feats like agility. It’s also important to target bad behaviour, like chewing, biting or sleeping on the bed, off the bat. Enforcing good habits will go a long way.
Chinese Crested have large and erect uncropped ears.Check for debris and excessive amounts of wax. Healthy puppies will have clean ears with no signs of discharge, redness, inflammation or pungent odour. If the puppy is aggressively scratching or pawing their ear, tilting their head or excessively flipping their head, it may also be a sign of discomfort. Breeds with floppy ears are more prone to infection or disease.
