I find this a disgusting promotion of a genetic disaster. Terriers were bred to go to ground to kill or hold vermin at bay. A hairless dog would be useless this task.
I have seen nothing to suggest that the "breeders" of these poor animals have done anything to research the consequences of propagating this gene. Nor is there anything in reference to how careful one must be with these dogs to shield from sunshine. How sad for a dog.
The term hypoallergenic is frequently tossed around in reference to any hairless or non-shedding breed. Lets get this straight, stainless steel is hypoallergenic, not dogs.
thank you,
