ladies and Gentlemen let's gather around
0:02
and talk about a breed that's as unique
0:04
as it is controversial the Chinese
0:07
crested dog now before you think I'm
0:09
here to throw shade on these little guys
0:11
let me clarify I love dogs but if you're
0:14
considering bringing a Chinese crested
0:16
into your life I'm here to present 12
0:18
reasons why you might want to think
0:20
twice so grab a seat and let's dive into
0:23
this furry Fiasco one Looks That Kill
0:27
first off let's address the elephant in
0:30
or should I say the hairless dog in the
0:32
room the Chinese Crested comes in two
0:34
varieties the hairless and the
0:37
Powderpuff the hairless version looks
0:39
like a dog that lost a bet with a lawn
0:41
mower if you want a dog that turns heads
0:44
this is your breed but not always for
0:47
the right reasons you'll get used to
0:49
people staring at your dog like it's an
0:51
alien from another planet two skin care
0:54
routine now let's talk about skincare
0:57
owning a Chinese crested is like
0:58
adopting a teenager with acne except
1:01
instead of zits you're dealing with skin
1:03
issues these dogs need sunscreen
1:06
moisturizer and regular checkups for
1:08
skin problems if you're not ready to
1:10
slather your dog in lotion like it's
1:12
going to a spa day you might want to
1:14
reconsider three Dental drama let's not
1:17
forget about dental health Chinese
1:20
cresteds are notorious for having
1:22
terrible teeth you might think you're
1:24
getting a cute little companion but what
1:26
you're really adopting is a dental
1:28
disaster waiting to happen you'll be be
1:30
spending more time at the vet than at
1:31
your favorite coffee shop and your dog
1:34
might end up with fewer teeth than a
1:35
toddler four barking alerts now let's
1:39
discuss barking these little guys can be
1:41
quite vocal if you thought your
1:43
neighbor's yappy Chihuahua was bad wait
1:46
until you meet a Chinese crested they'll
1:48
bark at anything that moves squirrels
1:51
leaves and probably even their own
1:53
reflection if you value your peace and
1:56
quiet get ready for some serious noise
1:58
pollution in your home
2:00
five separation anxiety these dogs are
2:03
like that clingy friend who can't stand
2:05
to be alone for 5 minutes leave them
2:08
alone for even a short while and you'll
2:11
come home to find your house looking
2:13
like it survived an earthquake they'll
2:15
chew through furniture and leave their
2:17
mark on everything they can reach if you
2:20
want to come home to chaos every day
2:23
then by all means adopt one six
2:27
stubbornness training huh good luck with
2:30
that Chinese cresteds are intelligent
2:32
but also incredibly stubborn they'll
2:35
look at you as if to say you want me to
2:38
do what training one of these dogs is
2:40
like trying to convince a cat to take a
2:42
bath frustrating and utterly pointless
2:45
if you're not prepared to put in the
2:46
effort expect to be outsmarted by a dog
2:49
that weighs less than your average bag
2:51
of flour Seven health concerns now let's
2:55
discuss health issues while Chinese
2:57
cresteds are generally healthy dogs they
3:00
can suffer from various problems like
3:01
skin infections and eye issues this
3:04
means not only do you need to keep an
3:05
eye on their food intake but also
3:08
schedule regular vet visits that can
3:10
make your wallet weep louder than your
3:11
dog when they see the vet eight grooming
3:14
needs and speaking of upkeep don't
3:17
forget grooming the Powderpuff variety
3:20
may have long hair that requires regular
3:22
brushing or else you'll end up with mats
3:24
that could house small Wildlife if you
3:27
enjoy spending your weekends wrestling
3:28
with Tangles and instead of relaxing
3:31
then by all means go ahead nine
3:34
socialization requirements Chinese
3:36
cresteds need extensive socialization
3:38
from an early age if not properly
3:41
introduced to new people and situations
3:43
they can become timid or overly
3:45
protective basically turning into furry
3:48
little guards who bark at anything
3:51
unfamiliar you might find yourself
3:53
apologizing more than once for your dogs
3:55
overzealous greetings 10 not ideal for
3:59
first time owners if you're a firsttime
4:01
dog owner this breed is not for you they
4:04
require an experienced hler who knows
4:06
how to manage their quirks and
4:08
stubbornness if you think owning one
4:10
will be like having a cute little pet
4:12
rock that listens to everything you say
4:14
think again 11 limited adaptability
4:18
these pups are not great at adapting to
4:21
new environments or situations move into
4:24
an apartment good luck they thrive in
4:27
homes where they can roam freely and
4:29
will make sure everyone knows when they
4:31
feel confined or stressed 12 lifelong
4:35
commitment finally let's talk about
4:37
commitment owning a Chinese crested is
4:39
not just about cuddles and playtime it's
4:42
about making a long-term commitment that
4:45
can last up to 15 years are you ready
4:47
for that kind of responsibility because
4:50
once they're in your life there's no
4:51
turning back in conclusion while Chinese
4:55
cresteds may seem adorable and Charming
4:57
on the surface owning one is no walk in
5:00
the park unless you're ready for an
5:02
energetic companion who barks at
5:04
everything under the sun and requires
5:06
more attention than most relationships
5:08
it might be best to admire these little
5:10
creatures from afar rather than bringing
