Meet the breeder
I'm Julie B., the breeder behind Crestie Charm Cottage located in Ocala, FL. Hi, we’re Julie and Mark, the hearts behind Crestie Charm Cottage in Ocala, Florida. Here, every one of our dogs is family first and foremost. We raise our Chinese Cresteds right inside our home, where they’re cherished, spoiled, and loved from the moment they’re born until the day they snuggle into yours. At Crestie Charm Cottage, we focus on more than just beauty — we nurture confidence, character, and connection. Each puppy is raised indoors with plenty of love and attention, ensuring a joyful start filled with warmth, trust, and gentle care. We believe every puppy deserves to be raised with purpose, patience, and plenty of love. Our goal is simple: to raise healthy, happy, and well-adjusted companions who embody the perfect blend of charm, intelligence, and heart. From our home to yours, every story begins with love. 🤍.
Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
With allergies preventing typical pet ownership, I discovered a hypoallergenic dream breed 15 years ago that changed my life - Chinese Crested dogs. As a longtime animal lover and toy dog aficionado, I fell in love with the unique coats and quirky personalities of the "Dr. Seuss" dogs. From their velvety hairless body to their powderpuff siblings, the Chinese Crested breed bring me endless cuddles and grooming fun. They've filled my days with joy and purpose; I can't imagine life without my precious Cresties!What makes your program special?
All of our breeding adults are tested for PRA-PRCD, PLL, and DM. We strictly follow AKC standards and strive for excellence in our puppy temperament and health. We currently have two breeding females (a Russian true hairless and a beautiful straight coat powderpuff) so our breeding program is small and we're dedicated in keeping it that way. Our goal is to share our love and dedication to preserving this breed.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include powderpuff and hairless coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, palomino, black and tan, black, white and chocolate, white and black, white, black white and tan, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
