The American Hairless Terrier is a dog breed that originated in the United States from a mutation in the Rat Terrier breed. It is the only hairless breed native to the US. It comes in two varieties: hairless and coated. The hairless variety has no hair except for eyebrows and whiskers, while the coated variety has a short, smooth coat. The skin or coat can be of any color or pattern.
The American Hairless Terrier is a smart, curious, and playful dog that has a true terrier temperament. It is energetic, lively, and alert, and enjoys activities such as agility, barn hunt, and obedience. It is also affectionate and loving with its family, and can be a good companion for allergy sufferers. However, it is not a lapdog, and needs regular exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behavior.
The American Hairless Terrier is generally healthy, but may have some issues such as allergies, sunburn, dental problems, and deafness¹⁵. It requires minimal grooming, but the hairless variety needs protection from cold, heat, and sun exposure. The breed has a lifespan of 14 to 16 years.
The American Hairless Terrier is a relatively new breed that was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 2016. It was developed by Edwin Scott in the 1970s from a hairless female Rat Terrier named Josephine. The breed is still rare, but has gained popularity among dog lovers who appreciate its unique appearance and personality.
