Peruvian Hairless Dog or Peruvian Inca Orchid is an ancient breed. Although it is often perceived to be an Incan dog because it is known to have been kept during the Inca-imperium, they were also kept as pets in pre-Inca cultures from the Peruvian coastal zone. Ceramic hairless dogs from the Chimú, Moche, and Vicus culture are well known.Depictions of Peruvian hairless dogs appear around 750 A.D. on

Moche ceramic vessels and continue in later Andean ceramic traditions.

The Spanish conquest of Peru nearly caused the extinction of the breed. The dogs survived in rural areas, w the people believed that they held a mystical value. In recent years, the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) accepted the breed and adopted an official breed standard.

This Ex Voto has tested positive for sterling quality silver. It is 2 inches tall by 2.3 inches wide.
