History of the Hairless Dog
Known as the Peruvian Inca Orchid, the tranquility of the name describes the radiant calmness of the dog who was highly prized in Inca culture. Seen on pottery and other art, the dog was considered special due to its hairless trait. When Peru was conquered by Spain, the dogs were discovered in homes near orchid blooms and were first given the name Perros Flora, meaning Flower Dog, and soon after renamed, Peruvian Inca Orchid.
