In these following pages are some health problems that have been common for the Chinese Crested dogs. These problems are not specific to the breed itself and may be quite common for other breeds also. Research your bloodlines and most important find a breeder who is honest. Some breeders will say they don't test their dogs' eyes for example because their dogs don't have problems...well I am sorry to say that the gene pool for the Chinese Crested is from a very limited stock and everybody should have at least the eyes and the patellars of their breeding dogs certified! Ask to see the certification papers for these test. I will be adding more pages soon.
