About American Hairless Terrier
Small, lively terrier available in hairless and coated forms, usually 25–46 cm and 5–12 kg. Very people-focused, indoor-oriented, and low-shedding, often suiting allergy-prone owners. Needs moderate daily exercise, mental stimulation, skin protection, and consistent, positive training.
