***
American
Hairless
Terrier...
Basically a Rat
Terrier
without
hair!
***
The
American
Hairless
Terrier
is an
ideal
breed
for
people
that are
allergic
to dogs,
yet have
a strong
desire
to own a
dog.
They
were
included
in the
Rat
Terrier
breed up
until
January
1, 2004
- simply
a Rat
Terrier
of the
hairless
variety.
Hairless
AHTs
registered
with the
United
Kennel
Club (UKC)
may
still be
bred to
Rat
Terriers
to
produce
coated
carriers
(have
hair,
but
carry
the
hairless
gene).
The
purpose
of
breeding
to Rat
Terriers
is to
increase
the
genetic
base for
American
Hairless
Terriers,
further
improving
the AHT
structure/movement
when
bred to
high
quality,
well-structured
healthy
Rat
Terriers.
AHTs of
the
hairless
variety
should
look
like a
Rat
Terrier
without
hair.
