Hairless dogs, like the Chinese Crested, the Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican Hairless Dog), and the American Hairless Terrier, have a unique charm to them. Their smooth, often soft skin can be a surprising departure from the furry companions we're used to. Some people love the low-maintenance aspect of not having to deal with shedding, while others are drawn to their distinctive appearance. These breeds often require special care to protect their sensitive skin from sunburn and temperature extremes, but for many owners, the joy of having a hairless dog outweighs the extra effort.
