Meet Astraea!
She is a 1 yr old (on 7/15/26) Black & White Female Hairless Chinese Crested.
She is AKC registered, and microchipped.
She is a lovely little lady looking for a pet only home.
She has been around cats, many other dogs, & children of different ages. Is accustomed to city traffic noise, as well as a busy household and the ongoings of a human family.
Will only need very minor grooming and weekly baths to maintain skin health. She is accustomed to being groomed by me, and is expected to continue to do well under a Groomer's care, or your own if that is what you desire to do.
She is quiet, inquisitive, and fun. Loves to chase toys and play with her dog companions. She enjoys a good cuddle session, and will mush herself into your face and neck to love you back.
She is fully crate trained and accustomed to being there for breaks, eating, or naps. She also walks well albeit excitedly on leash.
She will make a wonderful singular companion or mesh beautifully with another dog friendly dog resident or two. She is a very easy keeper, and a joy to be around
She does come under contract, and a spay will be required.
I am willing to spay for the buyer prior to go homue, but it will be at cost to them (additional to her list price).
She is microchipped, UTD on vaccines and flea, tick, and heartworm treatment, & bloodwork (including Heartworm testing, fecal, and CBC/Chem).
AKC registration and microchip will be transferred after payment and pickup is completed.
Please don't hesitate to send a message,
Thanks for looking!

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Chinese Crested
Puppies
What's it like owning a Chinese Crested?
This mostly hairless breed and it’s powderpuff siblings are great for people with allergies as both varieties are hypoallergenic. Their broad head, large perky ears, and long muzzle give the Chinese Crested a distinct look to go along with their ultra-extroverted and fun-loving personality. Full-grown, they typically weigh 8-12 pounds and stand 11-13 inches tall.
Do Chinese Cresteds do well in a busy household?
Chinese Cresteds are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. The Chinese Crested gets along well with children who respect their pup's personal space, other dogs, and any household pets. Young children should be watched around the Hairless Chinese Crested as they lack the naturally protective coat most breeds have to protect them from rough play. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
What's the best way to exercise a Chinese Crested?
Chinese Crested exercise and activity needs are rather minimal. They prefer a daily walk, but can usually have their needs met by indoor play. The Chinese Crested is well-suited for apartment life. Overall, their exercise needs are low.
How much grooming does a Chinese Crested need?
There are two distinct varieties of Chinese Crested—the ‘Hairless’ Chinese Crested and the more common ‘Powder Puff’ Chinese Crested. The Hairless Chinese Crested has soft, human-like skin and tufts of fur on their head and ears, tail tip, feet, and other sporadic places on their bodies. The Powerpuff variety has a thick double coat with a very soft, silky topcoat. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance. Chinese Cresteds are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
Where do Chinese Cresteds do best — city or country?

Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
