"Dog Experts Reveal: 15 Breeds That Will Make Your Home Life Amazing"

8. The Chinese Crested Dog Loves Being a Lap Dog

Though visually remarkable, the Chinese Crested Dog presents a special mix of traits that make them great friends for people looking for a devoted and attentive pet. These dogs have a very loving and kind attitude that makes them endearing to their human homes despite their unique and even shocking look. Their modest activity needs make them especially fit for homes or apartment life when large outdoor activities are not feasible.

Their great degree of attachment for their owners and continuous search for chances for close proximity and physical touch really distinguishes them. Their unusual physical traits, which include less hair than usual breeds, help to accentuate their natural propensity to be lap dogs: they often get comfort and warmth from their human friends. Although they are great affectionate family pets, they also show astonishing efficiency as watchdogs—despite their little stature—because of their vigilant and protective attitude. Their adaptability to many living environments and their loving and dedicated nature make them perfect friends for people looking for a close relationship with their pet free from the high-energy requirements of more active breeds.
