Peruvian Hairless Dog
I am owned by 3 Hairless Dogs of Peru, also known as Perro Sin Pello
Del
Peru. Kuess, my first, entered my family’s life on February 1, 2008.
She was
delivered to the SF International airport by her incredible breeder
Paivi Votkin all the way from Finland. This special little girl is
named Wanhan Wuoeren Nuort Kuess. Paivi visited with us for a too short
visit and gave me a fantastic education into the world of the Peruvian
Hairless. Bella and Huayra now grace our home. All three
are grande imported females.
As my son William and I looked in the international terminal for Paivi
and Kuess, I couldn’t help but think back to the long process that
brought Kuess to our home and lives. I have been owned by my Chinese
Crested Dogs for several years. I am fastinated by the genetics of this
hairless breed. I have always had a strong interest in Genetics. It was
one of my favorite series of courses in college. I also have a son,
Davey, with Down Syndrome, a genetic disorder. I guess it would be
natural that I would be drawn to this primitive breed of dog. I am
amazed that they have such unique genetics and remain fairly untouched
by humans.
How it began for us - Chinese Cresteds
I got started in CCs in a funny way. I have always had working breeds,
Newfs, and we had a PWD. My daughter raised Smooth Fox Terriers and did
juniors with her sister. We had two litters of SFTs.
My daughters went away to college, and I am still taking care of two
old SFTs. My girlfriend asked me to take home a CC puppy to socialize
for her, since we have twin boys who were about 5 at the time. I said
sure, the boys would love to play with a puppy for a couple of weeks,
HA! I was hooked.
We kept that male, and went home a year later with another male from my
friend. My husband thought I was crazy of course!
I got my lovely girl Puff from the Thompson's. Her name is Legends Miss
Congeniality.
I hope to get her finished this summer. I would like to add a THL girl
to the mix one of these days.
