I'm Corrina W., the breeder behind Zion's Chinese Cresteds located in Dexter, OR. I am a retired Vet tech. I love showing, obedience and dog sports. I currently have a English Springer Spaniel who has her grand championship and multiple obedience titles. A few years ago I obtained a little Chinese Crested. She quickly finished her championship, but did not continue to show for her Grand because she is a hoe body and a lot happier at home. We may go back later, but for now I am showing some puppies.
Q. & A. with Corrina
Why did you start breeding?
Many years ago I had collies and bred 2 litters (1980s) Showed and finished several of the pups. I also ran a 4-H dog club at the time. I am a retired veterinary technician. This is the first litter I have had in a long time. I prefer to show train and live with my dogs for years before producing more puppies.
What makes your program special?
I own, train and breed with care. These puppies are outstanding and well socialized. They used a potty box as soon as their eyes opened and no longer use it but prefer to go outside. They are vocal about it and have not gone in their potty box for weeks at a time. They tolerate trimming, bathing and nail clipping. They are beautiful and super sweet!
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 white and chocolate, white and black, white, sable, pink and chocolate, pink, palomino, cream, brown, apricot, 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 and guardian homes.

About Sera
Sera is the sweetest girl ever. She is a super cuddlebug and is very quiet and well behaved in the house. She can be silly and playful, or a quiet companion and is good at reading what you are in the mood for.
She is also athletic and keeps herself fit when I let her out. She was fun to show and finished her championship very quickly.
Sera is a first time mom and has done a wonderful job!
