1. American Hairless Terrier.

American Hairless Terrier
The world’s first hairless dog breed originated in the United States, developed from a genetic mutation of the Rat Terrier. A key characteristic of this breed is having no hair. They have pinkish skin covered with black spots. It is one of the most popular breeds in American households. However, their skin is very sensitive, so owners must take proper sun protection measures. Since there is no hair, severe shedding is not an issue. But this breed has many skin problems and is prone to various skin diseases.
