The dog is allowed to have smaller pink spots to any degree (even if it has no white spotting elsewhere). If the spots are sparse, they should be limited to mainly the legs and/or front of chest. If they are many, they can be all over the dog. Pale pink feet, tailtip or front of chest are not required if the dog has these spots.

Notes

This is an ancient breed. Although it is often perceived to be an Incan dog because it is known to have been kept during the Inca-imperium, they were also kept as pets in pre-Inca cultures from the Peruvian coastal zone. Ceramic hairless dogs from the Chimú, Moche, and Vicus culture are well known.

The peruvian hairless is an elegant and slim dog, whose aspect expresses speed, strength and harmony. This breed has, as a fundamental characteristic, the absence of hair all over the body. Of noble and affectionate nature with those nearest to the peruvian hairless, it is reserved towards strangers, lively, alert and a good guard.
