hairless dog

Fur-free pup

A hairless dog is a dog breed that lacks the typical fur coat, leaving skin mostly or entirely exposed.

Several breeds qualify, including the Chinese Crested, Xoloitzcuintli, and Peruvian Hairless.

These breeds are often sought by people with allergies, though they require skin care that furred dogs don't: Her hairless dog needs sunscreen in summer.
