History
Reputedly, the breed started when one hairless puppy appeared in one Rat
Terrier litter in the state of
Louisiana, United States, in 1972. Edwin and Willie Scott, the owners, liked the
bitch's look and temperament, and upon maturity bred her hoping to reproduce the
hairless quality. They were eventually successful; a litter produced in 1981
provided the foundation stock of the breed. A handful of dedicated breeders
began diligently working together to promote and protect the breed, forming the
American Hairless Terrier Association,Inc., the Provisional Parent Club for the
breed within the United Kennel Club, Inc. Since its formation, the breed has expanded to a worldwide
status with AHTs in many European countries.
