My heart is the heart of the Condor

 

My eyes are the eyes of the eagle

  

My blood is the blood of the ancient races

  

My swiftness is the swiftness of the hummingbird

 

 Do not doubt my lineage as it is the history of my race

 

 My kind were here before the Chimú

 

We saw the rise and the fall of the mighty Inca

 

We witnessed the savagery of the Conquistadors

 

We survived, We are Peru!

The Peruvian Hairless Dog is a breed that goes back at least 3,000 in Peru.

They are a Sight hound with a well developed hunting instinct,

Ancient Peruvians used them to catch small game and to destroy the rat population in the grain houses.

The dog comes in two varieties. Hairless and Coated.

We are of the opinion that the Coated is needed in the breeding programme to keep the breed healthy,

however at this stage we are unable to use the coated in any breeding programme

The breed also comes in three sizes.

 

 Small                from 25 to 40 cm    (9 ¾ to 15 ¾ inches)

     Medium             from 40 to 50 cm   (15 ¾ to 19 ¾ inches)  

Large             from 50 to 65 cm   (19 ¾ to 25 ¾ inche

Small            from 4 to 8 kg        (8.8 to 17.6 lbs)

Medium          from 8 to 12 kg         (17.6 to 26.4 lbs) 

          Large               from 12 to 25 kg     (26.4 to 55.1 lbs)
