The Peruvian Hairless Dog is an ancient breed from Peru, dating back over 2,000 years, and was traditionally kept by pre-Columbian civilizations as a companion, guardian, and healer. Its mostly hairless body, with smooth skin and occasional tufts of hair, makes it well-adapted to warm climates, and it is known for intelligence, agility, and strong loyalty to its family.
