I don't know why so many people think cresteds are ugly. The powder puffs are just furry little dogs. Maybe the hairless ones aren't for everyone, but even if you have to put sunscreen on, that is about the same commitment as brushing a really furry dog every day. They have wonderful personalities. Mine is 4 and people still think she is a puppy. She would never hurt anyone. She is a clowny big dog personality contained in a small cute little dog. I think if more people were familiar with this breed, it would be more popular.
