American Hairless Terrier Books

 

There is currently (1996-2006) no book available specifically about the American Hairless Terrier, but the following books do have information and photos of the AHT. I have most of these books in my personal AHT library.

American Hairless Terrier's parent breed is the Rat Terrier (RT). Particulars about RTs generally apply to AHTs as well. See the two Rat Terrier books below. For more RT info, visit my Rat Terrier pages.
