Chinese Crested Breed Standard
Toy Group

General Appearance
A toy dog, fine-boned, elegant and graceful. The distinct varieties are born in the same litter. The Hairless with hair only on the head, tail and feet and the Powderpuff, completely covered with hair. The breed serves as a loving companion, playful and entertaining.

Size, Proportion, Substance
Size - Ideally 11 to 13 inches. However, dogs that are slightly larger or smaller may be given full consideration. Proportion - rectangular-proportioned to allow for freedom of movement. Body length from withers to base of tail is slightly longer than the height at the withers. Substance - Fine-boned and slender but not so refined as to appear breakable or alternatively, not a robust, heavy structure.

Head

Expression - Alert and intense. Eyes - Almond-shaped, set wide apart. Dark-colored dogs have dark-colored eyes, and lighter-colored dogs may have lighter-colored eyes. Eye rims match the coloring of the dog. Ears - Uncropped large and erect, placed so that the base of the ear is level with the outside corner of the eye. Skull - The skull is arched gently over the occiput from ear to ear. Distance from occiput to stop equal to distance from stop to tip of nose. The head is wedge-shaped viewed from above and the side. Stop - Slight but distinct. Muzzle - Cheeks taper cleanly into the muzzle. Nose - Dark in dark-colored dogs; may be lighter in lighter-colored dogs. Pigment is solid. Lips - Lips are clean and tight. Bite - Scissors or level in both varieties. Missing teeth in the Powderpuff are to be faulted. The Hairless variety is not to be penalized for absence of full dentition.

Neck, Topline, Body
Neck - Neck is lean and clean, slightly arched from the withers to the base of the skull and carried high. Topline - Level to slightly sloping croup. Body - Brisket extends to the elbow. Breastbone is not prominent. Ribs are well developed. The depth of the chest tapers to a moderate tuck-up at the flanks. Light in loin. Tail - Tail is slender and tapers to a curve. It is long enough to reach the hock. When dog is in motion, the tail is carried gaily and may be carried slightly forward over the back. At rest the tail is down with a slight curve upward at the end resembling a sickle. In the Hairless variety, two-thirds of the end of the tail is covered by long, flowing feathering referred to as a plume. The Powderpuff variety's tail is completely covered with hair.

Forequarters
Angulation - Layback of shoulders is 45 degrees to point of shoulder allowing for good reach. Shoulders - Clean and narrow. Elbows - Close to body. Legs - Long, slender and straight. Pasterns - Upright, fine and strong. Dewclaws may be removed. Feet - Hare foot, narrow with elongated toes. Nails are trimmed to moderate length.

Hindquarters
Angulation - Stifle moderately angulated. From hock joint to ground perpendicular. Dewclaws may be removed. Feet - Same as forequarters.

Coat
The Hairless variety has hair on certain portions of the body: the head (called a crest), the tail (called a plume) and the feet from the toes to the front pasterns and rear hock joints (called socks). The texture of all hair is soft and silky, flowing to any length. Placement of hair is not as important as overall type. Areas that have hair usually taper off slightly. Wherever the body is hairless, the skin is soft and smooth. Head Crest begins at the stop and tapers off between the base of the skull and the back of the neck. Hair on the ears and face is permitted on the Hairless and may be trimmed for neatness in both varieties. Tail Plume is described under Tail. The Powderpuff variety is completely covered with a double soft and silky coat. Close examination reveals long thin guard hairs over the short silky undercoat. The coat is straight, of moderate density and length. Excessively heavy, kinky or curly coat is to be penalized. Grooming is minimal-consisting of presenting a clean and neat appearance.

Color
Any color or combination of colors.

Gait
Lively, agile and smooth without being stilted or hackneyed. Comes and goes at a trot moving in a straight line.

Temperament
Gay and alert.

 Chinese Crested(中国冠毛犬)

[简介] 玩具犬，纤巧、文雅且优美。在同一胎中会出现截然不同的两种外观，无毛型的仅在头顶、脚部和尾巴上长有饰毛，而粉扑型则全身有毛。这一品种适合作为家庭宠物和非常称职的玩伴。

[体型] 尺寸：理想的尺寸是11~13英寸。当然，如果略大或略小也可以考虑，但要从整体去看。比例：矩形比例，身体能自由活动。体长（肩至尾根）略大于肩高。骨骼纤细，身材苗条，属于虽然精致但不脆弱的情况，也不能出现下列情况：强壮或笨重。

[头部] 表情警惕而且热情。眼睛：杏仁状的眼睛分的很开。深色狗的眼睛颜色深，浅色狗的眼睛颜色也浅。眼圈的颜色和狗的颜色相称。耳朵大且竖立，未剪耳，耳朵位置是：耳根与外眼角对齐。脑袋：脑袋从两耳间到后脑的地方略呈拱形。从后脑到止部的距离等于从止部到鼻尖的距离。从上方或侧面看，头部都呈楔子形。止部轻微但很清楚。口吻：面颊逐渐变细，使口吻呈清楚的锥形。鼻镜：深色犬的鼻镜呈深色；浅色犬的鼻镜呈浅色，但颜色要求一致。唇：嘴唇干净、整齐。咬合：剪状咬合，粉扑型如果有缺齿现象被视为缺点，而无毛型有缺齿现象没有关系。

[颈部，背线，身躯] 颈部倾斜且干净，从肩部起向上支撑着头部，略呈弓形。背线略向臀部倾斜。身体：胸部深度与肘齐平。胸骨不明显。肋骨发育良好。从肩至腰，胸部的深度逐渐减小。腰细。尾巴：尾巴细长，尾尖处变的更细。尾巴的长度使它能碰到飞节。当狗走动时，尾巴欢快的运动或翻卷在背上。 [前躯] 肩甲骨向后呈45度角。肩部整洁且窄。使肘部紧靠身体。腿长、细、直。腕部竖直、精致且强壮。狼爪也许已经被切除。脚呈兔形足，脚窄且脚趾细长。趾甲被修剪成中等长度。

[后躯] 角度：后膝关节呈适当的角度。从飞节到地面呈垂直状态。狼爪可能已被切除。足部同前肢。

[被毛] 无毛品种只在身体的几个部位有毛：头部（叫冠毛），尾巴（叫尾羽），前腕和后腕（叫短袜）。所有的毛发不论垂到什么长度，都象丝一样软。毛发的位置不如整体重要，有毛发的区域通常逐渐变细。身体上无论哪里都没有毛，皮肤柔软，且光滑。冠毛从止部开始，到头颅后开始稀疏，从头颅到后颈这段区域逐渐减少。无毛品种的脸和耳朵允许有毛，但为了整洁，两个品种都可能修剪这部分的毛。尾羽在尾巴下端。粉扑型覆盖着双层柔软的丝质被毛。仔细查看可以发现在短短的底毛外面还有一层长长的披毛。被毛的密度和长度适中，直。过多过重，扭曲的被毛或卷毛都属于严重缺陷。修饰是为了使外表看上去干净整洁。

[颜色] 任何颜色或颜色的组合。

[步态] 活泼、敏捷，流畅且没有不自然或平庸。来或者去都用小跑并保持直线运动。

[气质] 快乐，而又警惕。
