Chanchilitos - Sep 2005

Hello;

Ran into your PIO page, and thought I'd send a shot of the puppy that we brought back with us from Peru. Chanchilitos is almost 8 months old now, and has adjusted well into her new home. She's one of the smaller breed, being just 12" at the shoulder and a little over 13 pounds. Because of her light build she weighs less than half of my beagle (and less than the cat, too.)

Just for your information, the Quechua name for the PIO is 'Calato Al'co', or literally 'Naked Dog'. Most people in Peru just call them Calato. In the mountains where my wife's family lives (the dog was a gift from my brother-in-law) black is the preferred color since they don't sunburn like the white. There is also a very beautiful, very rare coloration, like coffee with cream, which I've only seen once.

Anyway, here's Chanchilitos at the park. Her tail is tucked down because she doesn't like being on the table.

Sincerely,

Brian Bixby
