American Hairless Terrier

The American Hairless Terrier is a breed of companion dog from the United States that was developed from naturally hairless Rat Terriers.

As their name suggests, American Hairless Terriers are characterized by their lack of fur, making them an excellent choice for people with allergies. Their skin, which can come in a variety of colors and patterns, requires regular care to protect it from sunburn and to keep it healthy. Despite being hairless, these dogs are just as energetic and lively as their coated counterparts, enjoying regular playtime and exercise.

American Hairless Terriers are known for their intelligence, curiosity, and affectionate nature. They are quick learners and respond well to positive reinforcement training methods, making them relatively easy to train. Their playful and friendly disposition makes them great companions for families, including those with children and other pets. Due to their lack of fur, they are best suited for indoor living, although they enjoy outdoor activities as long as their skin is protected from extreme weather conditions. With their loving and loyal nature, American Hairless Terriers make wonderful pets for those looking for a unique and devoted companion.
