American Hairless Terrier

The American Hairless Terrier is the only hairless dog breed indigenous to the United States, and the breed’s creation was something of a happy accident. Today, the breed is known as an active companion dog and an especially great choice for allergy sufferers.

Some fans of the new breed abbreviate the name to AHT, while some refer to them as hairless Rat Terriers. Although these are purebred dogs, you may still find them in shelters and rescues. Remember to adopt! Don’t shop if this is the breed for you.
