About The Breed

The American Hairless Terrier is a small, energetic, and friendly breed known for its distinctive hairless appearance, although a coated variety also exists. With a compact, muscular build and smooth skin, this breed is often seen in skin tones ranging from pink to mottled, with freckles or spots. Originally bred for hunting and companionship, the American Hairless Terrier is intelligent, playful, and affectionate, forming strong bonds with its family. They are energetic and enjoy playtime, walks, and mental stimulation, making them a great choice for active individuals or families. Despite their small size, they have a confident and spunky personality. This breed is low-maintenance in terms of grooming, though care should be taken to protect their sensitive skin from sunburn and extreme weather. The American Hairless Terrier is a good choice for people with allergies due to its minimal shedding. They are best suited for owners who can provide regular exercise, attention, and protection from the elements.
