Drew some AHTs for funsies over the weekend while waiting for someone to get a crude map to me so I could make a game map out of it.
American Hairless Terriers are, essentially, Rat Terriers who carry or express a gene for hairlessness. The gene is recessive so, unlike other hairless breeds such as the Chinese Crested, they do not have the dominant-hairlessness tendencies towards things like bad teeth, skin problems, eye problems, etc. In other breeds, hairlessness tends to also be a lethal dominant gene, which is not true of American Hairless terriers, so hairless to hairless breedings are not taboo. They do still require sunscreen when they go out, but they are, overall, very hardy and very much still a terrier (energetic, prey driven, stubborn).
