Yes, it’s true. They seem to have a National dog here. It is known as the Peruvian Hairless. And yes, it is essentially hairless most of the time. 
This breed is also known as the Inca Orchid and they may be related to the similar breed in Mexico, Ecuador and the Chinese Crested. 
In the city, they are never seen wandering like other mutts. They are prized possessions and generally kept indoors, or on a rooftop! 
This particular dog is recognized in ancient artifacts as being maintained in the temples and cities. Here are a few ceramics that we encountered which represent the hairless dog in household items. 
Peruvian Hairless have not only unique appearance, but also a unique personality. How do you feel about this breed? Is this the right dog for you?
