Hairless Dog Breeds and How to Care for Them

4. Argentine Pila Dog

The Argentine Pila Dog is a descendant of the Peruvian Inca Orchid. They have similarly been around for thousands of years, and they were often used for therapeutic purposes. Their warm skin was often valued and used as a heating pad. Pure Pila dogs are rarer now that foreign breeds are more popular than the local hairless pups. Some breeders are trying to re-establish the breed; they are playful and loving, and they often act as good guard dogs as they are very attentive and cautious of strangers at first.
