The American Hairless Terrier, a Louisiana native, is a non-allergenic, shed-free, smart, inquisitive, fearless, and playful dog. They are a fine choice for allergy sufferers who want a dog with true terrier grit and courage.
The American Hairless Terrier stands between 12–16 inches at the shoulder and weighs on average 20 lbs. While still having eyebrows and whiskers, the skin of the hairless is smooth and warm to the touch.
The broad, wedge-shaped head is a hallmark of this terrier variety. Erect V-shaped ears frame the round, expressive eyes that gleam with curiosity. The American Hairless moves with jaunty pep in his step that announces real terrier attitude.
The hairless variety is as hypoallergenic as a dog can get. This breed is protective of their humans and alert watchdogs.
