History

• It's believed he originated from the African Hairless Dog which was reduced to a smaller size by the Chinese

Personality and Behavior

Training

Grooming / Maintenance

• Option 1: Clip his coat short every few months and then it only needs to be brushed occasionally.
• Option 2: Trim his long coat every 6 weeks and then brush it daily to keep it mat and tangle free.
