Ive heard that Chinese Cresteds have a lot of dental problems and have missing teeth is this true?
A.) No, Chinese Cresteds do not have a lot of dental problem, but Yes, the hairless can have the missing teeth. Powder Puffs should have full dentition in an even or scissors bite. Part of the gene mutation that causes the hairless characteristic also affects dentition. Hairless Chinese Crested’s produced by careful breeding practices with powder Puffs used frequently throught each generation will have sound and solid dentition lasting that animal throughout it’s life with the use of regular dental cleanings, its very important to brush your dogs teeth and get dental cleanings if your vet reccomends it, just like people a dogs mouth can get infections and there teeth can rot, so take good care of your crested!
