The Chinese Crested Dog
Antique woodcut engraved print issued in 1872 by Horace Cox for "The Dogs of the British Islands"

"The only one remaining of a litter of six born from parents imported from China, both of which are now dead.  She is two years old (1866) but has never bred in consequence of a difficulty in finding a mate of the same strain.  As would be expected from her greyhound shape she is fast and active, very affectionate in disposition, so that isf the breed could be naturalised it would be acceptable to many as a novelty in the pet department."

"Of the several examples of hairless dogs in various parts of the world the Chinese Crested is one of the most unusual in appearance.  Some fault in pigmentation is the reason for the lack of hair."
