Norman

Meet Norman!, He is a 4 year old Hairy Hairless Chinese Crested who came to us from a rural shelter. He is approximately 4 years old and weighs 12.5 pounds. Typical of the Chinese Crested, Norman loves attention, and really wants his very own person. He is an active dog that enjoys racing around in the yard, going for walks, running errands - whatever you're doing, he's right there. He is exceptionally smart and wants to please! He comes when he's called, has basically mastered house breaking skills but will need to be kept on track and re-trained to his new home's schedule and his new environment.<br/><br/>We think Norman was a previous breeder dog and not too socialized as a typical pet but he's doing great at leaning what it's all about. He is SUPER affectionate, loves to be held and on your lap. He's clean in his crate during short breaks and during the night. It was obvious that Norman is used to being groomed; great in the bath and with clippers, etc. Most hairy hairless owners shave the small amount of hair that is on the body. The hair on his ears have been recently cut but will grow back. Chinese Crested need some special care. He will need sun protection and clothing in the cold months. They lacking normal dentition, (typical for hairless dogs), so Norman will need to have his teeth brushed on a daily basis and plenty of quality chews for him during the week.
