Tips

history

Despite the name, the breed's Chinese origins are debated - it was standardized in the West (esp. by American breeder Ida Garrett in the 1930s). The hairless gene is a dominant ectodermal-dysplasia mutation shared with Mexican Xoloitzcuintli, suggesting an older common trade-route ancestry.
