Pyxis American Hairless Terriers
We purchased our male AHT, Bond, aka KVK's Three Piece Suit, when a friend sent us a picture of the litter. Barbie was getting the only hairless female puppy in the litter, Vixen; and wanted me to see the picture. Little Mr. Bond was there too; and available, so I contacted the breeder and that day; he was ours.
Bond is a "trindle", a black and tan; with brindle points, a colour that is not accepted in the Rat Terrier breed; but is accepted in AHT. I love brindle; so the easiest way to acquire a brindle "rat" terrier; was to go with their genetic offshoot; the American Hairless.
He is proving to be a fun boy; a little on the sharper side (quicker to react to strangers, barkier) than my Rat Terriers; but still the same general disposition; of up for anything, YOU are up for!
His first big show was the UKC 2014 Premier, he turned 6 mos. old (legal to show) on Friday, June 13, 2014; and we showed in Conformation and Rally that day to begin his show career.
He won in Conformation, (over his sister ironically) and scored an 89 in his Rally class. The next day, Saturday; he showed again in Rally; scoring an 87; giving him a Total Dog award; a very prestigious win for a 6 mos. + 1 day old puppy, he would be among the youngest there to achieve that win.
Bond is now CH URO1 KVK's Three Piece Suit RATI; achieving his final Rally leg with a 92 score, a Total Dog achievement in August 2014. He is also in training for weight-pull. He finished off his first year; with a Barn Hunt Instinct title; we hope to continue in that venue; he has come into some serious hunt-drive.
Bond was awarded the NBOB Altered Champion in 2017
