Some people seem to be selling chinese cresteds that they cant sell as poodle, crested crosses!..Seems they sell quicker and fetch more money! numpties..

The hairless chinese cresteds can have different type cresteds but not often..Its normally like horse hair as you will know with the true hairless..But the hairy hairless do have a thicker crest!

A chinese cresteds cross litter can produce hairless (same as a puff and a hairless i spose)..SO the pup you saw could have been the exact same as the chinese cresteds hairless but its crest may have took the coat type of the other breed!
NO one can say if thats what there ment to look like as you cant tell what a pup from a cross litter will turn out to look like.

It is said that years back poodles were added to a chinese cresteds breeding programme and im led to belive thats to do with the coat type of the puffs! witch imo is a complete joke as we dont want curly coated puffs as thats not what there ment to be!
