This breed of dog is originate from Peru, as we can see in the Pre-Incas ceramics with patterns representing animals. It main characteristic is the complete lack of body hairs, excepted on its head with a little black crest.
To compensate the heat loss due to the lack of hair, the temperature of their body is 3 degrees warmer in comparison to others dog breeds.
That’s why they cure this animal with traditional medicine to treat rheumatisms or asthma.
