they aparently had the dogs 101 chinese crested show on this weekend and i missed it, but from what my mother was spouting off about what she "learnt" on the show im not impressed...
they said the breed "doesnt" bark...yes, yes they do...there not barkers in general, and when they do bark its more of a yodle/song than a typical dog back, but when you get them started or they think they have a reason...
or that the chinese crested is "origionally part chihuahua"
mabe the modern day chinese crested has chihauhua lines when origionally brought this direction to make them a little smaller and stockier...but chihuahuas are from south america, chinese cresteds are from Africa, and genetic testing have proved them closly related to the basenji rather than any of the worlds other hairless breeds/toy breeds (most of which are south american)
still gonna see if i can find the episode online so i can see what was actually said, mommy tends to recall things in strange ways lol.
i do agree they should have started with AKC regonized, then move onto the UKC, then ontop the rarer breeds...
once thy have all the pure bred dogs, then move onto the mixed breeds...i at least hope they made it clear that the "chiweenie" is NOT a breed...
