MEXICAN HAIRLESS — 
One of the oldest of pure 
breds, the dog of this breed 
is believed to be descended 
from the hairless dogs of 
China. He was the favorite 
dog of the ancient Aztecs, 
who believed that he was pos- 
sessed of great healing quali¬ 
ties. He is about the size of a 
small Fox Terrier, is very 
active and well-proportioned. 
There is no hair on his body, only a small tuft on the top of the head, 
and sometimes a few small hairs on the tail. The skin is warm to the 
touch, and may be of any color. 
AFFENPINSCHER — This small terrier-type dog was known in Ger¬ 
many and the Continent as early as the seventeenth century. He is also 
known as the Monkey Dog be¬ 
cause of his expression. He is 
game, alert and intelligent. The 
coat is stiff and wiry and may 
be black, black with tan mark¬ 
ings, red, or grey. In size, the 
Affenpinscher should not ex¬ 
ceed 10]/4 inches in height and 
should weigh no more than 7 
or 8 pounds.
