This is definitely one of the weirdest and ugliest dog breeds ever. Seriously, everything about this dog doesn’t make any sense. It has long and white fine hair on the head, tail, and legs but the other areas are bold and hairless. It is skinny with spots and blotch on the skin, making it looks like a sick dog. Pugs are also ugly but they are ugly in a cute way. This is not the case with the Chinese Crested. They are straight up, seriously, 100% ugly.
