A Chinese Crested Dog On TV

This dog strutted for the cameras

There are many TV personalities and cameras roaming around "behind-the-scenes" in the grooming and benching areas at Westminster.

I enjoy watching all of the cameramen and TV personalities working to get the most interesting shot or story. There are certainly many stories to choose from at Westminster.

This dog is a Chinese Crested. This breed has two varieties: Hairless (as seen in this photo) and Powederpuff.

The Hairless variety has hair only on legs, head and tail. The Powderpuff has a soft straight coat over the entire body. Both varieties may be seen in the same litter.

To learn more about this breed, please visit the Chinese Crested AKC breed profile.
