Chonzer Activity Requirements

The Chonzer, or Chinese Crested, is a highly intelligent, sensitive, and loyal dog that originated in Africa. They are small, furry, and adorable, and are very popular as pets. While they can be content to spend the majority of their time at home, they do require regular walks. They should also be brushed regularly to help maintain their silky, smooth coat. If you are looking for a quiet, gentle companion, the Chonzer is the dog for you. They tend to be calm and reserved, but they are playful and affectionate. If you want a lapdog, the Chonzer will oblige, but you will also be rewarded with a fun-loving, clownish personality.
