The Pugese often combines characteristics of both parent breeds. It usually has the compact build of the Pug and the characteristic coat of the Chinese Crested. The coat can vary in appearance, as the Chinese Crested Dog comes in both a "powderpuff" variety with long, silky hair and a "hairless" variety with no hair. The Pugese can therefore have either a soft and curly coat or a smooth, hairless skin. He often has a flat muzzle and a bright appearance.
