Larissa and her sweet husband of Dao Dog Chinese Cresteds made getting our sweet chocolate hairless puppy girl such a wonderful experience and really a gamechanger for us! They drove and met us to keep stress off the puppy and delivered her in such happy spirits! This is truly one of the dreams answered in puppy form for a chinese crested dog enthusiast! I focused on career and my art and didn't breed or show for 10 years. I told myself when I was ready the perfect dog would come along. She did thank you to the quality of careful genetics and lifework of Dao Dog. She's everything I could ask for. It's not easy in a breed to get a show quality exotic color AND hairless AND female with recessive genes. She's one in a million. PLUS she has the show temperament, so confident and she has PRESENCE. She was 10 weeks and she demands your attention. As the breeder of some of the first show chocolate puff, the color had just been recognized, who produced chocolate champions around the world....this dog from Dao Dog blew my socks off. At 12 was She's already showing well and head and tail up at matches and moving so pretty. She's everything you want in a show dog and at night she sleeps next to me. In a week she's glued to my side. I just can't recommend Dao Dog enough. They are worth every penny. Do yourself a favor if you want the true essence of the breed..get a dog from Dao Dog. I got the Chocolate icing on the Cake with this baby girl (our Lulu) and she's brought so much joy to us with her temperament and antics! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, sincerely!!! I can't wait to show her off!!

We had a very positive experience working with Larisa and Dao Dog. From the very beginning, Larisa was responsive, knowledgeable, and reassuring—especially important since this was our first Chinese Crested and we had many questions. Her timely communication helped ease our anxiety and made us feel confident throughout the process. She also shared practical guidance on care and nutrition, including healthy, natural food and snack suggestions, which was especially helpful as first-time Chinese Crested owners. The logistics were straightforward and well managed. Good Dog made the overall process easy and secure, from the initial connection to payment. Larisa was also very accommodating with pickup. When we traveled to Michigan, she met us at our hotel, where we completed the paperwork, took photos, and began our journey home, bonding with our new puppy along the way. We adore our new puppy and enjoyed the experience overall. Larisa’s patience, generosity with her time and knowledge, and continued support distinguish her as a wonderful breeder. We are grateful to have found Dao Dog through Good Dog and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a Chinese Crested. We would gladly consider adopting from them again in the future.
