Perro Sin Pelo Del Peru
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. The coated are only allowed to be shown in two FCI Countries, however they can be bred from in all FCI Countries except Peru, although I am told by the Amigos Del Perro Del Peru, that is about to change.
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 60 cm (19 ¾ to 25 ¾ inches
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)
We also support Perro Sin Pelo Del Peru Rescue and we are proud to be one of the foundation members
