What the Chinese Crested pricing tells you
The Chinese Crested (8-12 lb) is priced as a small dog; bath, dry, and finish time all scale with that body mass.
Groomers also price the hairless coat on this breed, weekly appointments stack into a larger annual budget than the per-visit quote suggests.
Budget for the full 13-18 years window: Chinese Crested temperament (Affectionate, alert, lively) plus the grooming, boarding, and nail lines above compound into a predictable ownership cost.
