The Peruvian hairless with a mysterious look
Wendy Scarborough, a dedicated dog rescue volunteer from North Carolina, recently adopted a Peruvian Hairless dog named Fable. With her sleek, hairless skin and distinctive look, Fable is often mistaken for a statue when out in public.
“People say she looks like an Egyptian statue,” Wendy says. “I’m stopped at least five times each time I take her out.”
The Peruvian Hairless breed has a long history, originating in ancient Peru and often depicted in pre-Inca art and pottery. Unlike the Sphynx cat, which was bred in Canada in the 1960s, this breed has existed for centuries.

Another added: She looks like the paintings of the dogs on the walls of the Egyptian tombs.
Strangers frequently ask Wendy questions like, “What type of dog is that?” and “What does she feel like?” Many also compare her to the Egyptian god Anubis due to her statuesque demeanor.
“She has such an expressionless face,” Wendy explains. “But she’s very expressive and playful once you know her.”
Peruvian Hairless is a rare breed with a lasting impression

The breed nearly became extinct in the 1990s, making breeders rare.
Wendy’s interest in this rare breed led her to search for years, but finding a Peruvian Hairless dog proved challenging. After a long search, Wendy located a breeder in Peru. In May, Fable arrived after a 3,115-mile journey, becoming part of Wendy’s family.
Fable joins Wendy’s family of 16 dogs, a diverse group that includes five Spanish Podencos, two Galgos, and a Golden Retriever, among others.
“All my dogs are like family,” Wendy says. “But Fable is one of the most fascinating. She’s silly and playful at home, far from the statue-like appearance that people often assume.”
