American Hairless Terrier

The American Hairless Terrier is a lively and intelligent breed known for its affectionate and playful nature. Originating from the Rat Terrier, this breed carries a strong hunting instinct, although its lack of coat makes it unsuitable for hunting activities. Instead, they excel in agility and obedience competitions, thriving on human companionship and requiring regular interaction to prevent restlessness. They are known for their smooth skin, which requires simple grooming and protection from the sun. Despite their lively disposition, they are generally gentle and make great family pets, getting along well with children and other animals when properly socialized.
