Dog Shows...Chinese Crested Question?

Different coat types in dachshunds serve different pruposes depending on the type of terrain that the dog would be used on.

And like one person said, there is the issue of numbers.. Cresteds are not as popular of a breed as dachshunds, so there are often fewer cresteds at the show. There's far more dachshunds.

In Australian Shepherds, if the Open classes are very full, they are divided by coat color. If the entry is small, they do not divide the class.
