Welcome
to Chinese Checkers Chinese Cresteds. We are nestled in Greenville, SC
enjoying the nice southern weather. Here we raise Chinese Cresteds,
the Powder Puff variety, with the occasional Hairless variety.
We are NOT a "puppy mill". We breed only as demand dictates and give our females frequent "breaks" from breeding. We strongly adhere to the ethical standards for breeders as outlined by the A.K.C., the C.K.C., the Chinese Crested Club of America, and other professional organizations affiliated with the breeding of purebred and hybrid dogs. All of our dogs live in our home, and are raised and kept underfoot and, therefore, leave our home for their new homes well socialized. All (adults and puppies) are loved on a lot and play together (with supervision) as a group. We start the "crate training" process for you and hope that you will continue that training. All dogs and puppies (except three) sleep in crates or play pens and learn very quickly where their beds are.
We dedicate our time and love to our dogs because we are blessed with
such a wonderful breed.
Our motto is: "the puppy becomes a part of your family and you become a part of ours".
We stay in contact with each puppy's new owner and enjoy frequent pictures and updates from each one of you.
About us...
We are Bill and Lori
Elrod. We live in Greenville South Carolina, And we are CRAZY about our
dogs!!!!!!!!!! We got our first Chinese Crested about 3 years ago, and
we’ve been hooked ever since! I, Lori am a hairstylist, have been for
about 20 years, Bill is a psychologist (currently retired due to a
stroke…but getting better every day!). We have four children which are
all grown up and living their own lives (and doing very well, I must
say!!). Some people would say that this is “empty nest syndrome” But
you can ask the kids…this was going on long before they left!!!! We are
just avid animal lovers!
My DREAM has always been to breed, nurture, and find great homes for my
puppies!!!! When I discovered the “Cresteds”, I knew I had to do
this!!!! Kody, my first, is a therapy dog and goes to nursing homes to
visit and also goes to work with me. I realized how gentle and sweet he
was from the beginning!!! He has given so much joy to so many, which in
turn gives us joy!!!!
We just love to share what we have discovered with these wonderful
animals…So goes the breeding of Puppies!!! Anyone that’s ever been a
breeder or has ever had an “accidental” litter knows you don’t do this
to make money!!!!!! It is truly the love of a breed and the wish to
share them with others!!! We strive to bring babies to people that are
“breed standard”….healthy….happy……but most importantly, bred for
temperament and treated with such love, care, and special attention
that the outcome is a “perfect pet”!!!
