Chinese Crested Health Database

How to add Crested health information to this database:

If test results are submitted to CERF and/or OFA, an email with the link to the information will be sufficient.
Per email with the following information:
1. the dog's registered name without titles;
2. date of birth (mm.yy);
3. the dog's parents registered names without titles;
4. the date of the health test (mm.yy);
5. copy of the test results*.

* All submissions must be accompanied by a copy of the results issued by the recording veterinarian or by an official body such as CERF. We prefer that you scan or photograph the health documents and send them to us as an email attachment. To prevent possible errors in the database, only clear, legible documentation can be accepted. Documents must be clear enough that there is no question as to the dog's name and the date and results of the exam. If you are submitting results other than a standard AVCO or CERF form, please make sure that the veterinarian's name/signature is legible.

This site was created to be a free place for breeders and owners to share health information about Chinese Cresteds. While the breed is generally healthy there are genetic health issues that people need to be aware of. Sharing information and test results is a big step in helping the breed to be happy and healthy. We welcome all test results and information from breeders and owners. It is important to everyone to know that breeders test before buying a Crested.

The database, maintained for the welfare and betterment of the Chinese Crested breed, includes health information that is voluntarily submitted by dedicated breeders and owners worldwide.

Owners are encouraged to submit any additional health information along with CERF, ERG, and BAER results such as carrier status, other test results, related complications, etc.

Note: As you view the Database, it is important to know that the results of eye exams are all recorded under the column titled CERF. Although CERF is not used in countries other than the United States and Canada, for our purposes, CERF will be used to indicate that an eye exam similar to the CERF exam was performed by a qualified veterinary opthalmologist.

The accuracy of the information on this site is solely the responsibilty of the submitting person(s) who has provided documentation that appears to be valid.
