The Peruvian Inca Orchid originated from Peru. Spanish explorers came upon this breed in the homes of the Inca nobility when they first entered Peru in the early 1500's. The Inca Orchids found in the US nw, originated from less than a dozen that was imported hundreds of years ago from Peru. That's why in the US this breed have almost the same look from one another.
physical appearance
This is a very clean breed with no doggie odor and no fleas. The hairless PIO is ideal for allergy sufferers because there is no hair to shed. The coated variety has hair all over the body and does shed, but not much coat care is required. Regular brushing is required. This breed should be kept indoors and be protected from the elements. The PIO get sunburns very quickly. They're going to need a sweater in the winter and kept at a comfortable temperature in the summer. In short, you need to keep in mind that this breed is going to need all the extra care (maybe even more) you give to your own skin because they are basically, well, naked.
behavior
The PIO will do fine in an apartment. A fenced in yard is recommended as the PIO is a a type of hound whose natural instinct is to hunt and may take off chasing critters at anytime.
