| Perro Peruano Peludo |
Perro Peruano Peludo is the beautiful Spanish name for the coated variety of the Peruvian hairless dog. In English: Peruvian coated dog, a stunning athletic dog with a character 100% Peruvian hairless dog.
Almost every Peruvian litter contains coated dogs. These coated dogs are not a breeding mistake, but inherent to the Peruvian breed. Whatever some breeders may say, genetically it is impossible to breed only hairless dogs. Every hairless dog also carries a coated gene. When these coated genes meet, it will result in a coated pup.
The coat is that of a short or a medium coated dog. It varies between short as that of greyhound's and Beagle's and can be as long as that of a Kooikerhond or Border Collie.
The colour of the Peruvian coated dog varies. Every colour is allowed. For example: brindle, black , sand, black and tan and tri colour.
The coated dogs can get a pedigree but cannot be shown in most countries. However in some countries, for example France, they may be shown. Since 2009 it's not allowed to use the coateds for breeding in Holland. We hope we can make this rule undone. Exclude one third of our small population is not healthy for our breed. 2010 was a very special year for our breed. It was it's 25 anniversary and the first peludos got their official pedigree.
We would like it very much if when people choose the coated ones that they are going to do something active with them. Coursing, agility, obedience, flyball, a Peruvian fits all!
