American Hairless Terriers in Canada.

The American Hairless Terrier or AHT is the hairless variety of the Rat Terrier. Many allergy sufferers find them to be the only dogs they can own. Due to the lack of hair in the hairless version, they have little dander. Fleas and ticks are not as common with this breed. The hairless is considered by many to be the closest thing to a hypo-allergenic dog.

The coated AHT has very short, fine hair and is also considered hypoallergenic for some people. The American Hairless Terrier makes a wonderful pet for active families. The personalities vary quite a bit, and while some are lap dogs, others are true terriers. Visit our web site to learn more about this truly unique breed.

AHTs originated from the United States in the 1970's and have been raised in Canada since 1999. The Canadian Hairless Terrier Association is Canada's official breed club for the American Hairless Terrier in Canada.
