The American Hairless Terrier is a small to medium-sized breed of terrier that is known for its lack of a coat. They were developed in the United States in the 1970s from Rat Terriers, and were recognized as a separate breed by the American Kennel Club in 2016. American Hairless Terriers are intelligent and energetic, and are known for their versatility and adaptability. They are generally friendly and outgoing, but can be reserved with strangers and may require socialization. American Hairless Terriers have a lifespan of 14-16 years and require minimal grooming due to their lack of a coat. They are prone to sunburn and may need sunscreen when exposed to the sun for extended periods of time.
