Welcome to the home of Lotus Chinese Cresteds!

“I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love.
For me they are the role model for being alive.”

-Gilda Radner

 

I’ve always loved dogs, and I mean always. The first book I remember reading was the AKC Guide to Dogs, which showed all the breeds, their standards and personality, everything you’d want to know about a particular breed. I read it from front to back and came back to it often, assessing which dog I wanted to have when I grew up. Chinese Cresteds weren’t in there. AKC didn’t even recognize the breed until 1991, even though they have been seen since the 13th Century.

We had a beagle/fox terrier mix when I was a toddler and my parents raised and bred poodles when I was in my teens and early adulthood. I’ve had many different breeds myself but out of all the dogs I’ve had the pleasure to meet, the Chinese Crested is my favorite. They are beautiful, intelligent, comical and loyal, but most of all they are incredibly lovable, interactive dogs. Many love to sing, some climb like monkeys and excel at agility, but every one that I’ve met must be right by your side, or at least close by, hence the nickname “velcro dog”. My responsibility, as a Chinese Crested owner and a breeder, is to produce healthy, well-socialized, sound puppies. My goal is to go beyond that and also produce dogs that meet the AKC standard so that they are both show and pet quality. Enjoy your visit and don’t hesitate to contact me with questions or feedback!

Wherever you purchase your new family member, please make sure the breeder health tests!  Our dogs are either tested or clear by default for genetic disorders.

 

“Personally, I would not give a fig for any man’s religion whose horse, cat and dog do not feel its benefits.  Life in any form is our perpetual responsibility.”

-S. Parkes Cadman
