do chinese crested dogs get along with other dogs?

Question

I might be getting a chinese crested dog. I have 2 chihuahuas right now and I was concerned about if they would get along with each other.

Answer 1

They are non-aggressive, and generally get along with other pets.
However, Chinese Crested Dogs crave constant companionship, so be sure that you have time for all three dogs..

Answer 2

Well it is like any type of dog. If the dog has not be around other dogs then it might be shy at first. It will take time for the dog to warm up to other dogs. Ok if the dog has been around other dogs then yes they will get along. Be sure that you will have time to spend with all of your dogs becasue chinese crested dogs love attention.

Answer 3

It all depends of the personalities of the various dogs, but yes they can get along with other dogs if they have compatible personalities, I have male chinese crested whose is 1 year old, 1 female eskie who is 9 and 2 greyhounds male 9 and female 5 years old

Answer 4

My grandma has a Chinese crested, and when I bring my chihuahua over there, they get along fine.

It depends on the dogs' personalities, I guess.

Answer 5

I have one. They do need special skin care.. they are prone to sunburn, acne, blackheads, dry skin, contact allergies, and other skin infections/irritations. Some have better skin than others.. some require nothing more than a weekly bath with a mild dog shampoo, and some need special medicated shampoos and lotions. Hairless is more work to take care of than a puff is. They are notoriously difficult to housebreak.. I dont know many that are 100% housebroken. They are very needy and clingy dogs.. and very emotional. They will often let you know they are upset by leaving the message on your pillow, or someplace for you to step in! The hairless is not always "hairless".. they do vary in amounts of body hair. Mine is a "true" hairless. He has no body hair, but he doesnt have the flashy socks and mane like you see on the Cresteds in the dog shows. A "moderate" hairless may have a strip of hair down its back, and on the legs.. and a "hairy" hairless may be almost completely covered in a fine, single layer of hair. Shaving isnt an absolute necessity tho unless you are showing, or you want that "hairless" look.. I prefer the true hairless, as I like the hairless, without the "stubbles". Puffs have a complete double coat of hair... they require an occasional bath and daily brushing to prevent matts. Hairless come with dental issues. Missing teeth are accepted in the show ring for the hairless variety. Better bloodlines tend to have better dentation, but its still being improoved. My hairless is only missing about 3 teeth, what teeth he does have tho are small and not as well-developed as compared to other dogs of his size. Puffs should have a "normal" set of teeth. Hairless tend to have a more "child-like" personality, while puffs are more independant. Some are known to be escape artists.. they are pretty crafty at digging, jumping and climbing. Mine is trustworthy off-leash, but not all cresteds are. They are clingy to their owners and family, and enjoy the company of favored friends.. but they are not typically overly friendly towards strangers.. however they should not be aggressive. They do get along well with other dogs and cats if socialized. Some may display prey drive towards small animals and birds tho. They are smart little dogs, but they are also master manipulators.. they will try to push your buttons to get their own way. They can be trained to do tricks, but you have to use the right motivation and be consistent with them.. if they get away with something once, they will try it again! For rescue, I reccommend Crest-Care.. if you go with a breeder, do your research. They are prone to so many health issues.. both types of PRA (causes blindness) and dry eye are the biggest issues in the breed.. other problems include luxating patella, legges perthe, allergies, closed ear canal, heart murmurs, and I've recently heard of some cropping up with thyroid issues and liver shunts. ADDED You deserve an extra star for being responsible and doing your research. Too many people buy a dog based on appearances alone (look at the few people who told you to buy a different breed because they think cresteds are ugly!). I personally like the look of the hairless. My dog is different, but he's not just another poodle or chihuahua like what everyone else has! He also has the personality I want.. I dont mind the extra work with grooming and skin care.. and I accept the housebreaking quirks, all breeds have their "good and bad" Feel free to contact me if you want more info on the breed.

Answer 6

they are good with other dogs but they need lots of special care. make sure that you never give it anything with lamb in it as they are allergic to it and make sure that the food has little or no corn. any other questions you can e-mail me. also allergic to lanolin and wool.
