The Crestoxie is a hybrid blend of the Chinese Crested and Dachshund. This lively small dog is very fond of people. The coat and body build can take on either of the parent breeds, or be a lovely combo of both.
add infoDue to the stubborn nature inherent in this hybrid, housebreaking may present a challenge. You will need to be consistent in training the Crestoxie. He is a intelligent pet and will require lots of mental stimulation. He has a bit of a possessive nature, so don\'t let him rule you - he will surely try.
add infoThe Chinese Crested is not from China, but the name came about as they were traded by Chinese. This little dog was popularly used as ratters on shipping vessels. The Dachshund was believed to be from Germany in the 1600s where they were used to flush badger from their burrows.
add infoBrushing and bathing routines will depend on the gene inherited from the parent breed. If they are like that of the Chinese Crested and have exposed skin, they will require frequent bathing with a mild soap. Possibly protective clothing and lotions may be needed. The wiry coat may need stripping and brushing regularly.
add infoThe Crestoxie can be prone to barking, so if looking to get a pet for an apartment you may wish to consider this trait. They do well in smaller settings and playing indoors can give them most of their required exercise, with occasional walks. They have an inquisitive nature, so challenging toys are helpful in keeping them busy. Small children may not be a good fit as both parent breeds have tendencies towards dominance and nipping.
