Great breeder!
Kiko has some great lines going. Very ethical breeder. Has very healthy and beautiful cresteds. I would not hesitate to buy from her again as she is very honest and efficient and really knows this breed. Her dogs are worth every penny you will spend.

Hi jen, my name is Cynthia and i'm from miami, fl. I was viewing the dogs you breed and they are absolutely beautiful. I have always loved hairless chinese crested dogs like CH. Blanco's Along Came A Spider. Unfortunately, I can't afford one if not i'd buy one from you. I was writing to let you know that your dogs are beautiful I wish I had one. Keep up the good work. Cynthia.
After doing much research to find a high quality Hairless Chinese Crested we decided to purchase a puppy from Dare to be Bare, and it was the BEST decision we could have made! Jennifer answered all of my questions happily, kept me well up to date on the condition of our puppy (Dare to be Bare's Dazzling Diva) until we were finally able to bring her home. Even after Diva came home with us, and we had a few questions, Jennifer was more than happy to answer them and give me some tips and ideas on everything from food to house training. It is very obvious they have very high standard for their breeding program, as they produce exceptionally aesthetically pleasing puppies that have a very pleasant disposition. I have never encountered ANY breed that loved people as much as Cresteds!
It is very apparent that Jennifer and Kiko take much pride in their pups and in the breed through their wealth of knowledge and information (and all of their Champion Chinese Cresteds). I couldn't ask for a better Chinese Crested, or a better breeder. When we decide to get another puppy we will defiantly be purchasing from Dare to be Bare! Thank you SO much Jennifer and Kiko for all you have done for me, Randy, and Diva! We hope to do "business" with you again!
Sincerely,
Carrie and Randy Sahr

Thank you so much for my new puppy! I really appreciate you being available by email and telephone during the course of our transaction. You are obviously dedicated to your dogs and very knowledgeable about the breed. Thank you for all of your help and especially the grooming tips. My experience with you has been completely professional and I would not hesitate to get another puppy from you!

Jen and Kiko,
I think back to 2002 when I met Jen as I was looking for a breeder to find a Chinese Crested puppy. I was astonished at how Jen and I clicked right away. I couldn't have been happier! I knew that I could put 100% trust into her and Kiko that their puppies would be just as wonderful.
I was right. When the time came for the birth of my puppy, I remember getting an email from Kiko in February 2003 showing me my week old Chinese Crested! Finally, Dare To Be Bare's Bijou Dancing Cheval was here! He was adorable! He looked like a little piglet! As the weeks went by, Kiko sent me more pictures. I got to see week by week the wonderful transformation of my little piglet into the gorgeous Crested that he became. I was so impressed by the thoroughness of their business. Bijou is now 3 and he is the most loving, friendly, compassionate, playful dog I have ever met!
Since we had such a great experience in adopting Bijou, we decided we wanted to go to Jen and Kiko for another Crested puppy. This time, I got to see what puppies were already available via the website. That was when I saw my little lamb. He had the face of an angel! I knew right away that he would be a great addition to our home. So, in December of 2003, I brought home Luce (loo-chay). He was a Christmas gift for my husband. We couldn't have asked for a more loyal, loving, cuddly companion! Luce is 3 now also, and he is the light of our lives! Hence his name, Dare To Be Bare's Luce Della Mia Vita!
We cannot thank you guys enough! You have provided the highest quality Chinese Cresteds dogs for us. We are so happy! You have always been there for us if we ever had questions or concerns.
We are so grateful to you both for being the quality breeders that you are. We feel so fortunate to have found you guys! We have two wonderful dogs thanks to you!
Sincerely,
Dana and Lance Stevens

Not only are our dogs part of our family, but we enjoy competing with them in obedience, agility and conformation. After deciding to get a Chinese Crested, we began looking for the best quality puppy we could find. Fortunately our search led us to Kiko and Daretobebare, where we found beautiful quality, healthy puppies, with wonderful temperaments. Kiko was very patient and helpful. She answered our many questions and promptly returned calls and emails. We chose a little female who we named Ivy Bean. Kiko emailed pictures and kept us updated on a regular basis until Ivy Bean was ready to join our family. She gave us advice on grooming, feeding, medical care, and much more. Kiko was very honest and fair through out the entire process. We highly recommend Kiko and Daretobebare to anyone looking for an outstanding Chinese Crested.
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul and Debrah Schwartz

Subject: Nimh
Hi Jen,
I have never seen a more well adjusted dog! Nimh has surprised us all. After the long flight, he came out of his kennel with kisses for all. He was just a little nervous with my weimaraner, but I put Merlin in a down stay and now it is kisses for him! ,lol The only sound he has made so far is a little growl at my persian, but it was just at first sight and now it is kisses for him too.. much to Pans dismay,lol.
He sat in my lap last night as I worked on the computer, and he would sit up and put his soft little cheek to mine as though he was giving me a sweet little puppy hug, and then he would lay back down. It absolutely melts your heart!!
Anyways just wanted to give a little upate on him, I am sure I will have more later!
Eva
