The Argentine Pila (Spanish: El perro pila) is an Argentine breed of hairless dog.[1] It is recognised by the Asociación Canina Argentina.[1] It is one of a small number of hairless dog breeds; others include the African hairless dog, the American Hairless Terrier, the Chinese Crested Dog, the Hairless Khala of Bolivia, the Peruvian Inca Orchid and the Xoloitzcuintle or Mexican Hairless.[2]
It is closely related to other South American hairless breeds, all of which were originally considered a single breed.[1] It is estimated that approximately 1,700 of these dogs are in Argentina; they are predominantly found in the Salta province in the north of the country.[3]
