Characteristics
Smart, curious and energetic coming in a hairless or coated variety. A small dog with a big personality and true terrier grit.
Hairless, but healthy
The AHT is the only hairless breed in which the trait is recessive, and therefore, the homozygous state is not lethal (as is the case with other hairless breeds). Actually, the hairless variety is a healthy dog born with a sparse coat that is lost completely within the first six weeks.
The Breed Archive is a great place to learn more about different breeds and to actively participate in entering dogs, correct and add information to make it even better.
