Every breeder has a beginning.
Ours began in South Florida, when we met the first Chinese Crested we’d ever seen—a fun-loving little girl named Thumbalina, or Thumby for short. She belonged to my sister and instantly captured our hearts.

Thumby resembled Maya in both size and color, with the same delicate features and expressive eyes. She was the most precious, joyful little soul—curious, affectionate, and full of sparkle. There was something about her that stayed with us long after we left. Something we couldn’t stop thinking about.

We didn’t plan on falling in love with the breed. But once we met Thumby, it was over. A spark turned into fascination… and fascination turned into lifelong love.

So why this breed? Why not something more common, or easier to explain to strangers at the dog park?

Because the Chinese Crested is everything we love about dogs, wrapped up in one quirky, expressive, heart-melting package.

🐾 Quirky, Elegant, and Full of Personality

Chinese Cresteds are impossible to define in one word. They’re elegant, yes, but also incredibly goofy. They’re soft and gentle, with a wild sparkle behind their eyes. They can be timid and sensitive one moment, and confidently strutting through the house the next.

We love their unpredictability, their grace, their drama, their snuggly nature and sudden bursts of zoomies. Cresteds are complex little creatures, and that makes them endlessly fascinating to live with.

💬 Communicators and Companions

Cresties don’t just exist in your home. They participate. They feel like little soulmates in fur (or in skin). They bond deeply. They watch you. They respond to your energy. They give comfort when you’re tired and demand play when you need a laugh.

There’s an emotional intelligence to this breed that we find incredibly special. They’re not aloof. They’re not just pets. They are true companions. And for the right family, they’re everything you didn’t know you were missing.

✨ Beauty in All Its Forms

Let’s be honest—they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. But once you’ve loved a Crested, their beauty starts to feel like art.

Some are nearly naked with delicate, silky manes. Others are fully coated in flowing fur. Some have bold spotted skin, while others are soft and solid-colored. Their ears can stand tall or flop playfully, and their faces carry so much expression it sometimes feels like they’re talking with their eyes.

Every Chinese Crested is different. And to us, each one is breathtaking in their own way.

🏡 Why They Fit Our Home and Heart

We’re a small, home-based breeder, and Cresteds fit that rhythm beautifully. They thrive in close-knit environments where they’re deeply connected to their people. They sleep in our beds, follow us from room to room, and enjoy the slow, soulful pace of life at the cottage.

On a more personal note, I live with severe allergies—which makes the Chinese Crested’s minimal dander and hypoallergenic qualities a true blessing. Not every dog is a good fit for every body, but this breed has allowed me to fully share my life with dogs in a way that’s comfortable and sustainable.

We chose this breed not only because of their temperament and beauty, but because they genuinely fit our lives, home, and health. We didn’t want to just breed dogs. We wanted to share a life with them and invite others to do the same.

💛 What We Hope to Share

Our goal is to raise Chinese Cresteds that are healthy, beautiful, and well-socialized. But more than that, we hope to share the magic of this breed with people who will truly see them.

It’s not about trend. It’s not about convenience. It’s about connection.

If you’ve ever loved a Crested, you know what we mean.
And if you haven’t yet, there’s still time.
