:lau pretty much! Good description!

I think line breeding is pretty common nowadays and I don’t normally have a problem with it or anything, know it’s sometimes necessary like you said, and they use it to improve/solidify certain traits but just seems like to start an entire breed from one dog may create problems down the line haha but maybe they had new blood or other dogs like you said.

I look at it more stabilizing a particular trait vs creating an entire breed.

If you wanted to introduce a color to a breed of chicken and stabilize it. You could do it with a single rooster (or hen pending if it's sex linked). It's the same basic thing with the hairless trait. They didn't create a new breed (per se), they just isolated a phenotype of the same genotype. Once that phenotype can breed true, it's stabilized.

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. Never thought of it like that before.

Oh I could say the same about hairless men, but I'd imagine some women would disagree with me ;)

Hairless men? Those are called boys. 😋

I've never had hairless dogs, but my best friend has a couple cresteds. I can't get over the damn blackheads and acne. 🤢

I've not had to deal with acne. The bitch does get blackheads, but mostly because she's so small. Her pooper is pretty close to the ground, so when she squats she normally hits the ground. In general though is not to hard to maintain their skin.

It is pretty involved, but not hard.
2 baths a month followed but a bagbalm rub. Lotion 1-2 times a week if needed. That in general keeps their skin conditioned.

1-2 sugar scrbs a year, weekly ear checks (remember no hair, at all). That's basically all I do.

We do use sunscreen during the summer. Clothing to protect them from the elements, but not unless they really need it. Dino does love to sleep in his clothes, so sometimes he gets them as a treat.
 
Her oldest crested is the one with all the derm problems. He also had no teeth left in his mouth by age 5. He's the wimpiest dog I've ever met. He stays in and has more sweaters than I do. I believe his breeding just sucks. The younger one has clearer skin. Definitely still has some blackheads though.

Avoiding blackheads completely is probably not realistic. Sucks the older one has skin issues. Of the two we have, one is confirmation quality and the other is just darn cute. ;)
