The Peruvian Hairless Dog or Perro Sin Pelo del Perú is a Peruvian breed of hairless dog. It is the only living breed of dog indigenous to Peru.[1]
As in other hairless breeds, coated examples can also occur.[2] In hairless examples the skin may be any one of a wide variety of colors, with or without limited unpigmented areas, usually the legs, tail or chest; any hairs may be of any colour. In coated dogs, the coat may be of any colour but merle.[2]
Hairless dogs are associated with the Andean civilizations. The modern breed is recognized as a part of the national cultural heritage.[3][4]
