Crested Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 My puppy was finally born today and I just got off the phone with the breeder. The phone conversation grew a "bit" long (4 hours) and it's now 2 am in the morning! One hairless baby girl was born and she said that she's not sure if she keeps her herself or if she keeps one of her powder sisters, but that if she doesn't keep it, I'm going to get it!!!! Ok... There are a lot of what if's yet, but this is the closest I've ever come to buying a puppy after Ben. The whole thing depends on what quality the baby girl will become (body structure) and offcourse on the jaws (the mommy has been known to make a some bad jaws) and then the hairlessness... It might become a hairless creature, but I'm still hopefull. Atleast I have a small chanse! Oh, I can't stand still!! I have to dance, but I'm too tired and my ear is really red (4 hours on a mobile phone...) so I'd better go to bed. Oh... MY PUPPY!!!!! Darn... I have to wait atleast 4 weeks before I can go and see her... But I promise you LOADS, and LOADS of pictures if everything goes well! :D /Crest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crested Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 Thank you, thank you, thank you! :D I still can't believe it... I've been waiting so long and I know I might have to wait some more if the baby has jaw problems or it's body isn't correct or if the breeder decides to keep her herself, but still... I have a chanse and that chanse seems amazing... And the most amazing thing of them all is that I can get both the drivers licence and my baby girl, because I can pay the baby little by little... Oh... I'm just so... so... so... exited! :D Wow... I really have to calm myself down! It's just that... I'm this close now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpaws Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Aww yipee for you crested!!!! :D I love the hairless, we have some that come into the salon. Theres a man who has 4 dogs, 2 ccpp and a hairless, and a tibetan terrier I think..he brings them in every weekend, one weekend the two girls, and the next the boys! He loves them so much, and they are all rescue dogs! :) Not that a hairless dog needs trimming or bathing that often, but never mind!! Yeah they can have quite bad jaw problems can't they, one of the powder puffs, Gizmo has a really overshot jaw, and I think that is why he got put in rescue. He's so cute though! If you hold him up while he is being bathed, he kicks his legs like he is trying to swim! He doesn't struggle just does a sort of slow little doggy paddle! Is it normal for the pp to be different sizes? cos Winston is really big, and Gizzy is alot smaller :-? When they come in we always have a special little bed ready for them on the side, and they sit there and watch us, they stay all day, cos we love them...! Blossom is a little sweetie too, she is the hairless, its weird cos in the winter her skin goes really pink, and in the summer is goes almost black! Do any of your get spots on there backs? She always has them, like little black heads on her back...we don't pick them...at all :lol: I think they are the sort of dogs I will want when I'm old, as little companion dogs..I love them!

Crested Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 K: First I waited 2 months for a litter to be born, before that I was interested in another litter where enough babies weren't born... Then from that other litter... it should have been born one more hairless baby girl and I would have got my honey... Then phone call after phone call and e-mail after e-mail to so many diffirent breeders that I honestly thought to myself that if this isn't going to work, I'm going to forget about Chinese Cresteds and swich to Poodles instead! :D (One of my friends told me not to be a pessimist, but I anwserd that I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist! :lol:) Then I waited 2 months for this litter, but I wasn't that hopefull, because there had been so many disapointments allredy... And now I have atleast a chanse to get a puppy! If and when I get the pup, my number one priority will be socializing the kid. I made a big misstake when I tried to socialize Ben. I understood that it was important, but I didn't realize HOW important it was, so now Ben is a pretty scared creature and I'm not going to do that again. I'm going to drag the pup to town from day one. I'm not going to let it walk by itself there, smelling dog poo after dog poo, but in my arms... That way the girl will see other people and strangers will come and pet her on the head and smile at her and she will get used to cars, trucks and things like that too. And when all the vaccinations have been taken, she can start smelling and checking other dogs out... in my arms she will offcourse see other dogs, but I'll try not to get her to connect with strange dogs yet.... Only the dogs I know have been vaccined and wormed. Do you think that would be smart? My head is spinning around and I can't think straight... And at home the first thing I'm going to teach her is "come". I'm going to let her be loose at our yard and teach her to be near me at all times. Now I don't have to worry about the neighbourgh's german shepard when the neighbourgh's have moved and the dog is no longer on this earth. (actually, this might sound cruel, but I think he's better off in heaven now then in a cage 24/7) Ohh.... I can't stop thinking of the pup... I really think I need a vacation too, like K had... :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crested Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 [quote name='snowpaws']Is it normal for the pp to be different sizes? cos Winston is really big, and Gizzy is alot smaller :-?[/quote] Chinese Cresteds can vary in size, it has nothing to do with coat... I don't remember the size thing in english, but Chinese Cresteds can be from 23-33cm and some are even bigger. I've heard of CC's that are 40cm, but I haven't seen them myself. I love the small CC's and this pup will be pretty tiny. :D [quote name='snowpaws']Blossom is a little sweetie too, she is the hairless, its weird cos in the winter her skin goes really pink, and in the summer is goes almost black![/quote] Hairless CC's do tan. They can be almoast white at winter and black at summer. :D Hmm... I should show you a winter and summer pic of Ben... Want to see? [quote name='snowpaws']Do any of your get spots on there backs? She always has them, like little black heads on her back...we don't pick them...at all :lol: [/quote] Ben has a spot and zit problem... Some say that it's because a dog isn't washed often enough, but I don't believe that. Some allso say that true hairlesses have more spot problems then hairy hairlesses (that have to be shaved so that they will be hairless), but I have no experiences of that so I can't say. For the zits and blackheads I use Etiderm on Ben. It's an antibacterial dog shampoo that can be bought from the pharmacy (Etiderm NOT VETRiderm). You wash with it and it cleanses the pores and makes a protecting "shield" on the skin so that the zits don't come again. That shampoo is like magic. Now when I see a couple zits on Ben, I wash him with Etiderm and they disappear! I think it's amazing! I don't know in wich contries it can be bought, but if I remember correcly it's an american product and I know it can be atleast bought in Finland and Sweden... I highly recomend it! ;) /Crest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpaws Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Oh thanks crested I'll mention it to the bloke when he brings her in next. The spots cant be because they are not bathed enough because these have been bathed every other week for about the last 3 years! :lol: Yeah yeah yeah I wanna see photos....show me show me!!!!!

Crested Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 The breeder told me last night that the puppy's face is half black and half white and that it's got this wite marking on her forhead. :D I can't wait to see photos of her... :iloveyou: The weird thing is that she's been born on the same week that Ben has! She was born on the 22:nd and Ben is born 26:th. So they have nearly EXACLY two years age diffirence! :D And an even weirder part is that Ben and the girl are RELATED! Ben's mom and the pup's mom have the same daddy! :D And I allredy have the name figured out. Bella. Do you know what Bella means? It's italian and means 'beautifull'... :iloveyou: :D :D /Crest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crested Posted July 23, 2003 Author Share Posted July 23, 2003 I got my two first pics of Bella and she looks good enough to eat! She is SOOO adorable and she's just 1 day old! I won't put pictures here YET, because it's not 110% that I can have her... I still have to wait a little, but at the minute that I hear she IS going to be mine, you'll get pics and LOADS of them! I promise! But I can describe her! ;) Her face is half black and half white. Bothe her ears are black, but there comes this white "stripe" from the neck and I think it goes under her chin. The white stripe allso goes over her left eye! :D She looks so cute! Then her paws are white and the tiny tip of her tail is white! She looks so adorable! Oh, now I've got an even worse puppy feever! But it's kind of better when I've finally seen my girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marble Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 crested that is very very exciting! congratulations, i know how it is to have to wait and be patient to see if it's going to work out, because when i adopted dresden the pound insisted on keeping her two weeks, having her checked by a vet several times, having her spayed etc before they would release her to me..........i hope everything works out for you and this is the girl you've been so patiently waiting for!
