Height: 10' - 14" Color: Any color except merle or albino

Basic Requirements: This indoor dog does well in smaller homes and apartments, but needs regular walks or playtime. Occasional bathing will help to keep the skin healthy.

Temperament: The AHT generally gets along very well with children. One caution is with very young children. As a puppy especially, the AHT is small and can be accidentally injured by a well-meaning but overly enthusiastic or careless child. Also any dog, regardless of breed, can growl or snap if pushed too far by any child. It is important that parents take precautions to prevent accidental injuries to the puppy, teach the children proper handling and interaction with dogs, as well as supervise young children at all times with any dog. This dog is intelligent, trainable and enjoys activity such as obedience & agility. ~Wytoka American Hairless Terriers, Kady Harrington
