Rescues
Listing breed-specific rescues in the United States is very US-POV-centric!! 105.184.107.116 (talk) 08:23, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

African breed
Hello, do you have a source to back up your claim that this breed is African in origin? If not your edit will be reverted. Cavalryman (talk) 12:54, 2 January 2021 (UTC).
 * It is fairly well established that China is not the origin for the Chinese Crested but the actual origin is a bit more disputed. I'm however not really invested enough in the article to put any effort into digging up any references, which is also why the claim of China as the origin has been left in the article since early 2018.

 * My understanding is one of a number of theories is the ancestors of these dogs (along with the American hairless dogs) came from Africa, but that theory still states these dogs developed in pre-communist China. Australian Kelpies descend from imported British collies, we don’t say they’re a British breed. Cavalryman (talk) 02:00, 4 January 2021 (UTC).

Why "Chinese Crested"?
Why is it called a "Chinese Crested" dog when the breed isn't from China? Why the hell don't they just name it according to the place it really came from? Like, Mexican Crested or something that made sense. And you know what? It IS an incredibly ugly dog. LOL. 47.138.91.31 (talk) 10:37, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Why "Hairless"?
That's a lot of hair for a "hairless" breed. Should that not be addressed? Even the "hairless" ones have hair.If it's an industry term, should it not be "referred to as a hairless breed", and note that they are not truly hairless? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.254.197.113 (talk • contribs)
 * Hairless does not always mean no hair, the OED uses the word 'destitute' as one meaning of hairless. So hairless is an appropriate term to use here. You could be pedantic and write 'hairless except for the extremities' if you really wanted. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:20, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
