Peruvian hairless dog

My friends:

You should know that we have an ancient (pre-incan) peruvian dog breed, called just that: Peruvian Hairless Dogs; as you can suppose it is a hairless one (with just a small spot of yellowish hair over their heads), we could say it is not a beauty, with a "chihuaha" appearence, but a little larger in size; it happens that because they have a large amount of fat under their skin they don´t need hair to keep warm during the winter days; this dogs are very friendly (as peruvians!) and in the last few years this dogs have been gainning value for its unique look.
Lets see the next picture to illustrate a typical one:

But you will sure ask: what has to do the Peruvian Hairless Dog in a security blog?; well my friends it happens that yesterday, loooking the local TV news, I saw that two young peruvian guys, in a centrical street of Lima, were trying to sell seven dogs, supposedly, Peruvian Hairless Dogs, to a group of tourists but when the police found them (it's now forbidden to sell any kind of animals at any street) and took a close look to the dogs, guess what! ........, yes my friends, .............. the puppies were anything but Peruvian Hairless ..... (we call that type "seven milk" dogs or street dogs) that had been carefully shaved all over their bodies to get the looks of this unique breed!

In the next image you can see when a local authority takes note over two (out of seven) fake Peruvian Hairless Dogs being sold last Saturday in Lima:

If you look carefully you'll see that the dog in the left side of the image is clearly "shaved", nothing near of the right look of an original one!

So, you have to be aware of all of this "risks" when you visit my lovely country!
