Breeder of Chinese Cresteds

Meet the breeder

I'm Donna L., the breeder behind Crowned Chinese Cresteds located in Venice, FL. I produce top-quality pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether showing or as an active companion. My puppies are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. I raise all of my dogs with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family that will match their temperament and personality. I consider myself a preservation breeder and my goal is to better the breed and breed puppies as close to the breed standard as possible. We follow Puppy Culture methods of raising puppies.

Q. & A. with Donna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I am purposeful in everything I do regarding my dogs, including careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments, working drives, and conformation that are exemplary representations of the breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    I am a lover of Chinese Cresteds. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Chinese Crested line. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
  • 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.
