Chinese Crested Versus Rottweiler: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler? Well, you have come to the right place. Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Chinese Crested and for the Rottweiler. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Chinese Crested or the Rottweiler.
Chinese Crested versus Rottweiler: Overview
A very important difference between the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Chinese Crested is a small-sized dog while the Rottweiler is a medium-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Chinese Crested belongs to the Companion Dogs group. Companion Dogs were bred to be companions for humans. Their main goal in life is to be with people, and they will be very sad if left to themselves for long hours day after day.
On the other hand, the Rottweiler belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
Chinese Crested versus Rottweiler: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Chinese Crested to the Rottweiler based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler
| Factor | Chinese Crested | Rottweiler |

| Common Health Problems and Recommended Health Tests |
|
|
| Popularity out of 200 Dog Breeds | 75 | 8 |
| Intelligence Rank (out of 130 Dog Breeds) | 61 | 9 |
Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Chinese Crested in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Rottweiler. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Chinese Crested is 87 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Rottweiler is 69 out of 125.
Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Chinese Crested is a better pet than the Rottweiler. So, you should get the Chinese Crested!
Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.
The Most Remarkable Differences Between the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler
Below is a list of where the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler are most different:
The Similarities Between the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler
The Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler are very similar in certain aspects. Below is the list of where the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler are most similar:
Size (Weight and Height) of Chinese Crested versus Rottweiler
Now, let us discuss the difference in size between the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler.
Chinese Cresteds weigh Up to 12 pounds when fully grown. Chinese Cresteds are 11 to 13 inches tall at the shoulder when fully grown.
On the other hand, Rottweilers weigh 85 to 130 pounds when fully grown. Rottweilers are 22 to 27 inches tall at the shoulder when fully grown.

Temperament of the Chinese Crested Versus the Rottweiler
The Rottweiler has a better temperament than the Chinese Crested.
This is because the temperament score for the Rottweiler is 84.7 percent while the temperament score for the Chinese Crested is 76.5 percent, according to the American Temperament Test Society (ATTS).
The American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide fair and objective evaluations of the temperaments of dog breeds.
Dog breeds with low temperament scores tend to show unprovoked aggression, they easily panic without quickly recovering from the panic, and they tend to avoid people. However, dog breeds with high temperament scores are not aggressive and are not shy. Also, these dogs are generally friendly and are protective of their owners.
The average temperament score across all dog breeds (over 250 breeds) is 83.7 percent.
With its temperament score of 76.5 percent, the Chinese Crested has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
With its temperament score of 84.7 percent, the Rottweiler has an above-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
The ATTS obtained the temperament scores of the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler by measuring the temperaments of 34 Chinese Cresteds and 6012 Rottweilers.
Price of Chinese Crested versus Price of Rottweiler
The average price of the Chinese Crested puppy is $1430. The price of the Chinese Crested typically ranges from $1000 – $1600. However, the price of a Chinese Crested can be as low as $500 and as high as $4000. We obtained this price information by reviewing the prices of 157 Chinese Crested puppies listed for sale from various sources.

A breakdown of the prices of Rottweilers
Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Chinese Crested puppy or the Rottweiler puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.
Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.
You may also consider adopting a dog instead of buying a dog.
Adopting the Chinese Crested versus Adopting the Rottweiler
You may consider adopting a dog instead of buying a puppy. Many Chinese Cresteds and many Rottweilers are currently available for adoption.
These adorable and cute dogs are waiting in dog shelters hoping that someday someone will rescue them. Furthermore, adoption costs are lesser than the cost of a new puppy. Dog adoption costs are usually around $300. In addition to your local dog shelter, a good place online to see dogs that are available for adoption is petfinder.com.

The Intelligence of the Chinese Crested versus the Intelligence of the Rottweiler
| Chinese Crested | Rottweiler | |
|---|---|---|
| Intelligence Rank | 61 out of 130 dog breeds | 9 out of 130 dog breeds |
| Trainability | Tend To Learn New Commands After 40 To 80 Repetitions! | Tend To Learn New Commands After Fewer Than 5 Repetitions |
Professor Stanley Coren, the famous psychology/neuropsychological professor and, dog lover/trainer measured and ranked the intelligence of about 130 different dog breeds.
According to Prof. Stanley Coren, the total intelligence that a dog demonstrates is the addition of three types of intelligence. These intelligence types are:
Prof. Coren showed that the Working/Obedience Intelligence of different dog breeds can be measured reliably. Thus, he was able to rank different dog breeds based on their Working/Obedience Intelligence.
This is important because according to Prof. Coren, 51 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from its genes while 49 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from the dog`s environmental circumstances.
To rank the intelligence of dog breeds, Prof. Coren employed the help of 208 dog obedience judges in North America to fill out a detailed survey on dog obedience. This number represented more than half of all of these judges in North America at the time. He also employed 63 veterinarians and 14 guard dog experts to collect data on the personality of different dog breeds.
Prof. Coren found that the Chinese Crested has an obedience intelligence rank of 61 out of 130 dog breeds. The Chinese Crested belongs to the `Fair Working/Obedience Intelligence Dogs` category. This means that Chinese Cresteds tend to learn new commands after 40 to 80 repetitions!.
The Rottweiler has an obedience intelligence rank of 9 out of 130 dog breeds. The Rottweiler belongs to the `Brightest Dogs` category. This means that Rottweilers tend to learn new commands after fewer than 5 repetitions.
The Rottweiler is more intelligent than the Chinese Crested.
However, Prof. Coren noted that a dog should not be judged based on its intelligence alone, that other factors such as sociability, adorability, and compatibility with the owner are other very important factors that new dog owners need to consider when deciding on a new dog.
The Popularity of Chinese Crested versus Popularity of Rottweiler
Every year, the American Kennel Club (AKC) publishes information on how popular a dog breed is in that particular year. The AKC gets the popularity information of a breed from how many dogs of that breed the owners register with the AKC every year. The AKC collects this data for about 200 dog breeds. The AKC collects this data for purebred dogs only(no mixed or hybrid dogs).
The graphs and the table below show the popularity of the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler over the years.
Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Rottweiler is more popular with dog owners than the Chinese Crested. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Rottweiler is 8 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Chinese Crested is 75 out of about 200 dog breeds.

Health Problems of Chinese Crested versus Health Problems of Rottweiler
Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.
Both the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.
The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.
Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Chinese Crested is prone to more genetic health problems than the Rottweiler.
This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Chinese Crested than for the Rottweiler.
8 health tests are recommended for Chinese Crested while 5 tests are recommended for the Rottweiler.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Chinese Cresteds and in Rottweilers.
Chinese Crested Health Problems
Chinese Cresteds are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Chinese Crested puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Chinese Crested puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Chinese Crested breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Chinese Cresteds for:
You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Chinese Cresteds here.
Rottweiler Health Problems
Rottweilers are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Rottweiler puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Rottweiler puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Rottweiler breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Rottweilers for:

More Discussions on Health Problems in Chinese Cresteds and Rottweilers
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Chinese Crested Breed is Primary Lens Luxation problems.
This is because the Chinese Crested ranks 7 out of 17 dog breeds for Primary Lens Luxation problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 1982 Chinese Cresteds, 23 of them had Primary Lens Luxation problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Chinese Cresteds, and how common these diseases are in Chinese Cresteds relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Rottweiler Breed is Elbow problems.
This is because the Rottweiler ranks 3 out of 144 dog breeds for Elbow problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 22339 Rottweilers, 8667 of them had Elbow problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Rottweilers, and how common these diseases are in Rottweilers relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
The table below lists the common health problems in Chinese Crested and in Rottweiler and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Chinese Crested and the Rottweiler:
| Disease | Chinese Crested Rank | Rottweiler Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Lens Luxation problems | 7 out of 17 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Baer Hearing Test problems | 12 out of 21 dog breeds | Not Common |
| Patella problems | 53 out of 145 dog breeds | 121 out of 145 dog breeds |
| Congenital Cardiac problems | 54 out of 159 dog breeds | 47 out of 159 dog breeds |
| Eyes problems | 147 out of 182 dog breeds | 14 out of 182 dog breeds |
| Elbow problems | Not Common | 3 out of 144 dog breeds |
| Shoulder problems | Not Common | 3 out of 22 dog breeds |
| Advanced Cardiac problems | Not Common | 27 out of 71 dog breeds |
| Hips problems | Not Common | 37 out of 198 dog breeds |
| Dentition Database problems | Not Common | 45 out of 49 dog breeds |
| Degenerative Myelopathy problems | Not Common | 47 out of 70 dog breeds |
| Thyroid problems | Not Common | 77 out of 115 dog breeds |
*To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.
Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
