Description: Very much like the sight hounds the Peruvian Inca Orchid loves to run. They are elegant and slim dogs, whose aspect expresses speed, strength and harmony without ever appearing coarse. The Peruvian Inca Orchid was bred as a bed warmer breed by the early Indians in Peru, they were often kept in the same room as their orchids where the humidity helped to preserve their silky smooth skin. Although their temperatures are the same as other breeds, the lack of hair makes them feel warmer to the touch -- perhaps giving rise to the phrase 'three dog night' as a term for cold evenings. The Peruvian Inca Orchid is an extremely devoted to their family, they can be very wary of strangers. They are clowns who love to entertain and spend time with their families.

Country of Origin: Peru
History: It was believed the Peruvian Inca Orchid dogs -- officially Perro sin Pelo del Peru -- were crossed with the sight hounds brought by the Conquistadors to produce the modern breed. However, since statues, drawings and other artifacts dating before Pizzaro's time document hairless dogs very similar to what is seen today, it is more likely the breed descended from the hairless dog of Mexico, the Xoloitzcuintli. Historians say Peruvian Hairless were brought to the Americas 2,000 to 3,000 years ago during the migration from Asia across the Bering Strait. Many theories abound to the origin of the Peruvian Inca Orchid, but they are believed to have been around since A.D. 750 when they appeared in the settlements of the Moche people of Peru.
