| Hairless
(and the nearly hairless) do have different needs for physical comfort
including more conscientious attention to their warmth and cleansing as
frequent bathing can dry out their skin. This breed is somewhat
more active than other smaller breeds of this type and makes a good
partner for a variety of activities. Noted as willing to please

documentation (such a breeder ethics) make it a bit challenging to
assess the claims and or qualities of the dogs of any one breeder.
