Peruvian Inca Orchid History
The Peruvian Inca Orchid is considered to be one of the earliest domesticated dog breeds known to humankind. The ancient history of the breed can be told through textiles, pottery, and other ancient relics discovered by historians. The breed’s first depictions can be found in Moche pottery dating back to 750 A.D., with very specific details dedicated to the dogs, were found among other relics from the Incas, Chancay, and Chimu, all three of this tribespeople were based in Peru. The Chancay was a local Peruvian tribe, that bred and used the dogs as hairless, small companion animals, so it is no surprise that certain earthenware portrays them while wearing sweaters, just like their owners. The Chimu was also a tribe living in the same region, and they believed that the breed would serve them good luck, fortune, and health, thus they used the dogs’ warmth for treatment of respiratory conditions and for arthritis. Moreover, the Peruvian Inca Orchid’s feces and urine were also presumed to be medical treatments and were mixed into some medicines as well.
When Peru was conquered by the Spanish Conquistadors, the Peruvian Inca Orchid was crossbred with some other small dog breeds brought to Peru by the conqueror foreigners. Over the years, because of this unsupervised breeding process, three separate, distinct sized dogs developed from the original breed. However, the Andean people in the mountain regions managed to protect the breed’s original DNA pure, without any crosses and mixes. Yet, this original version of the breed did not fare well in the cities along the coastline, because of the fact that those people assumed the hairless dogs to be diseased pariahs and were often exterminated.
An American man named Jack Walklin, in 1966 visited Peru and on his way back to the United States of America, he brought eight Peruvian Inca Orchid dogs with him. Mr. Walklin is considered to be the man who gave the breed its name, and thanks to him later the breed was recognized under that name in Europe and in the United States as well. He is also credited for the fact that it was because of him, that the western world got to know the Peruvian Inca Orchid.
In 1981, Germany registered the breed with the FCI. The Kennel Club of Peru accepted the breed in 1985 and requested the FCI to change the breed’s name to Perro sin Pelo de Peru, which translates to “Peruvian Hairless Dog” in English. Just in the beginning of the 21st century, in 2001 the Peruvian government officially declared the Peruvian Inca Orchid as a National Patrimony, and thus the breed is now carefully protected throughout the country and more or less, in South America too.
