Peruvian Hairless

Peruvian Hairless

DOG BREED

DESCRIPTION

Records of hairless dogs in South America date back to the Inca period. It has been suggested that this lively and beautiful breed may have originated in China or Africa before being introduced to Peru. Hairlessness, often accompanied by the absence of some teeth, is caused by a particular recessive gene, but occasionally, there are dogs with coats. Peruvian Hairless breeds come in three sizes—Miniature, Medio, and Grande. The fine skin needs some protection as these dogs are sensitive to the cold and are easily sunburned.
