Gotta love clearance!!

LMAO!!! I can most definitely see the resemblence haha.

And yes, both Julian and Tequila Rose (last 2 in my siggy) are Chinese Cresteds. They are not the hairless variety that most people know, but the coated version known as the "Powderpuff." Same breed just different hair.. (just like a LC or SC chi.) For a very long time, breeders were actually culling powderpuffs that appeared in their litters. Then they learned more about genetics and realized how important the Puff was in preserving the breed's integrity; as they had just been breeding Hairless to Hairless the dogs were looking less and less like the 'standard.' Roached backs, too tall, etc. Realizing how important the powderpuff was (it's the recessive gene) they finally got their recognition. They're a beautiful little dog; very bright, very affectionate; but still most people only know of the hairless variety when they hear of a Chinese Crested. I love powderpuffs because I can still put them in the cute flashy "pony clip" as I did for Julian in the last picture; but not have the skin issues that seem to be common in the Hairless type. Plus, I can let their fur grow out for a while and it still looks good (Tequila hadn't been shaved since early September but since the fur grows in evenly it looks fine.) Unfortunately, people putting their puffers in "pony clips" has gotten some controversy lately (in the show world, I mean; for pets it's really just preference) but some people have been known to shave down their powderpuffs as I did BUT actually try showing them as Hairless. The hairless often have missing teeth (it's natural/normal for them) but the powderpuffs do not. People like the flashy, thick-furnishing look and sometimes they "cheat" to get that look. For me I just do it for convenience; they're just pets and no need to keep them in a full coat. And whenever anyone asks of their breed, I always tell them they are Powderpuff Chinese Cresteds. People don't know they exist and are often surprised to see what they expect to be the "worlds ugliest dog" to have such a truly striking appearance. Not to mention they are typically less expensive (since they are less popular) than the Hairless. I have had HL cresteds too and they are all wonderful little doggies; I just really fell in love wit the powderpuff type!!
