Meet Noid, he's a sculpture I recently did. He is a Chinese Crested and his mommy wanted the sculpture to look like the caricature he's sitting on in the first photo so I tried to do a cross between the real dog and the cartoon dog.

This is a hairless breed, except that he has a silky top-knot or crest, and some feathering or tuft at the root of the tail, which feature is considered very typical of the breed. It is difficult to assign its origin, but they are found freely in the South and Central American States, Mexico, South Africa and China. The ears should be carried erect and are never cut. The conformation of the body is like that of the black and tan [Manchester] terrier, but the head is shorter and the skull... Read Full Story
I just recently put this art tile pendant into my shop. The art tile depicts a Chinese Crested. The tile is hand-sculpted from a beautiful lavender polymer clay, etched and highlighted with a dark purple paint. At the top center of the tile is a large Swarovski crystal charm. The pendant hangs from two bails on either side of the tile. This tile can either be hung on the wall or worn as a pendant. Size is approximate: 2-3/4" long top to bottom 1-3/4" wide

Now I consider myself a nudist since I run around with no clothes 99% of the time. Frankly, I only need a coat or aweater if there's a freak blizzard or something. Why? because I am furry. And when I say I'm furry, I mean really very furry. Mama says it's the Chow Chow in my background. Whatever it is, suffice it to say that even naked, I'm covered if you know what I mean. However, get a load of this dog breed! Until I saw a Chinese Crested dog, I guess I didn't know what naked really... Read Full Story

The Chinese Crested dog has a delicate and fine-boned body. The breed comes in two types-the hairless and powder puff. The hairless variety has no coat aside from the silky tufts on his head, tail, and feet -which means no hairs on carpet.
The look of the Powderpuff varies according to how it is groomed . When its fur is completely grown out on its face, it strongly resembles a terrier; however, the Powderpuff is usually shaved around the snout as a standard... Read Full Story
