This hairless ratter breed from the early 29th century may benefit from a very specific dog food diet to remain at optimal health and weight. Today's Chinese Crested may receive less exercise than their ancestors and as such requires carefully controlled dog food portions.
The History of Chinese Cresteds and Obesity
Originating in China, the Chinese Crested was bred to withstand the harsh winters and rugged terrain. There is some controversy over the Chinese Crested's origin as most hairless breeds originated in Africa. The Chinese Crested was revered for its ability to maintain vermin control on ships and on farms. Because the Chinese Crested requires nominal exercise to remain healthy, they were often paired with intellectually impaired adults. This tiny breed can weigh in at less than 8 pounds and often stands less than one foot tall. The Chinese Crested has hair feet with very long toes.
