As one of the ugliest dogs around, this wise little pup always enters Ugliest Dog contests and often wins. The most familiar and ugliest form of this dog is hairless, leaving only a little hair on the top of the head, ears, legs, and tail. In another form, the Powderpuff has a luxurious coat and is actually quite pretty. Whether naked or full coat, the Chinese crested dog is an affectionate and playful companion that thrives in an apartment. Standing 9 to 13 inches tall at the shoulder and weighing only 5 to 12 pounds, this unlucky looking dog has a short lifespan for a small dog. It lives about 10 to 12 years.
