Welcome to Crestie Charm Cottage

Nestled in the heart of horse country, Ocala, Florida, Crestie Charm Cottage is more than a breeding program—it's a celebration of charm, individuality, and the unique bond shared with Chinese Crested dogs. Every aspect of our work reflects passion, care, and a commitment to raising exceptional Cresties.

**Our Mission**
At Crestie Charm Cottage, our mission is to nurture confident, healthy, and charismatic Chinese Crested dogs who bring joy and companionship to their forever families. We prioritize ethical breeding practices, focusing on health, temperament, and individuality to ensure every puppy is truly one of a kind.

**Our Story**
Our story begins with Julie’s lifelong love of animals and her discovery of the Chinese Crested breed in 2010. For years, allergies and asthma kept her from owning furry pets, but these extraordinary dogs—with their hypoallergenic qualities and striking personalities—opened the door to a whole new world.

Julie’s dream took shape with Jean-Pierre, the first puppy she chose to build her program. His exceptional charm and captivating nature laid the foundation for Crestie Charm Cottage. Following his legacy, Benny, from Maya and JP's second litter, and Moka, a striking stud with strong Russian lineage, continue to inspire Julie’s vision of raising Cresties who embody beauty, health, and individuality.

**What Makes Us Extra Special**
At Crestie Charm Cottage, each puppy is nurtured with love and care from the moment they are born. We focus on early socialization to help them grow into confident, outgoing companions, and introduce potty training and crate training at appropriate times to prepare them for their new homes.

Our pups also benefit from gentle desensitization to grooming routines, such as bathing, brushing, and nail clipping, ensuring these essentials become fun and comfortable experiences. By the time they’re ready to meet their forever families, they’re already shining stars in the making!

We’re also thrilled to announce our new exclusive cashback program for families who go the extra mile! At Crestie Charm Cottage, we believe in celebrating success, which is why we’re offering cashback incentives for obtaining AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and Canine Good Citizen Titles. These milestones showcase your Crestie's training and achievements, and we’re proud to reward families who invest in their dogs’ growth and development. Don't forget to ask for more information about this opportunity!

Testimonials

For anyone interested in a high quality pure bred Chinese Crested puppy I would recommend checking out Crestie Charm Cottage. Julie & Mark have been great! They made me feel special throughout the whole process. From calming my nerves to answering all of my questions in a courteous and professional manner it made my purchasing experience just wonderful! For example they took time to go over health & nutrition of the breed as well as sending me pictures, sending videos of my little man and texting me on a daily basis letting me know how my soon to be baby boy was doing. These types of gestures made a huge difference to me. They were wonderful to work with. To deal with such compassionate and loving breeders was such a blessing!! I am so excited to have my new Chinese Crested baby and feel so fortunate to have gone through the process with Julie & Mark. I give them a 10 out of 10!!

I just want to say that Julie of Crestie Charm Cottage has been an excellent and outstanding breeder/mother to the crested pups. Although she is a new breeder, we have had all the trust in her. She communicated with us from beginning to end and made us feel comfortable with her. She invited us to come down to meet her and the puppies. While we were there, we paid her a deposit and picked one of the pups we wanted. She continued to communicate and to send pictures to us of the puppy we had chosen all the way up until we went and picked up our baby to bring her to her new forever home. We just want to say she is very much a trustworthy breeder and wish we came across her before we were scammed by a fake breeder for $400. So beware out there cuz there are many scammers out there. Plus she keeps a notebook of all the important information of our puppy and their parents and updated records of shots. (Our vet was very impressed with this notebook and records of her growing.) If any concerns you may have, feel free to contact me on here.
