Wei Qui came from a high kill shelter...poor guys only crime is that he is older!  He is good with other dogs, cats and people. He does have some cataracts but has fairly good vision!

Foster 3/27: Wei Chi is such an amazing dog! He is quiet, sweet and loves to be pet and cuddled! He gets along well with all my other dogs (5 in total of all different sizes) and he is not phased by my cats! He has not had an accident at all and loves to sleep in the bed or on the couch. He does have some limited vision but can jump up and down on the couch, goes up and down stairs well, and navagates my home with no problem. He loves to be on your lap, driving in the car or basically any where were your petting him or he can sleep! I think he would be a perfect dog for a senior person or someone who has a small or large senior dog because he is so low mateinace and loves everything! Won't you give this guy a forever home?

 

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, there are two distinct varieties of this unusual dog: one is hairless except for its feet, head and tail, and called, not surprisingly, the Hairless; the other is called the Powder Puff. It has a coat of long soft hair. The Chinese Crested originated in Africa where they were called "African Hairless Terriers." The ancient Aztecs kept them as bedwarmers, and believe it or not, did eat them. The Chinese trading ships stopped along Africa on their routes, and it was there that they picked up these dogs because they were excellent ratters for aboard their ships. They renamed the dogs "Chinese Crested" and the name stuck. The stripper, Gypsy Rose Lee, used to breed Chinese Crested. The most popular of the hairless breed, the Chinese Crested are still very rare. These dogs are sweet, lively, playful and cuddly. They are exceptionally loving and likes to hug and smile. Affectionate with children. Children should be taught not to be rough with this breed as it is friendly, but it does not have the protective hair that other breeds have and can get injured easily. They are an entertaining companion. Intelligent and very alert. Puppies should be well-socialized and exposed to loud noises when young to avoid potential timidity. If its owners do not baby them, these dogs can grow up to be a very well-adjusted dog. They have an ability to perform tricks and are generally good with other pets. They are not barkers. Chinese Crested Dogs like to climb and dig holes. They tend to become very attached to their owners and have difficulty adjusting to a new one. Chinese Crested Dogs crave constant companionship. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
