It comes from times before the Incas and is now a preserved species in this country. Very smart breed, fast, good company and guard. Excellent company for those dog lovers who suffer from alergies and/or asma and also recommended for long time for arthritis or rheumatic pains as its a very warm dog compared to any other breeds. Pollution in Lima IS high, but it's for sure not to say "When it comes to pollution, Lima has it all. The air is contaminated, the water, the sky, the streets. Pollution is everywhere." we also have preserved ecological areas in the city, beaches, etc. Lima might be a very polluted city, but not yet being part of the serious and harmful gas emissions produced by other countries...anyway. too bad to keep on reading stuff about my country which only harms its image...we, besides history, also have several very good things to be mentioned and be taken more seriously. cheers from Lima, Zoë That is a Peruvian Hairless dog, similar breeds also found in Mexico and in China.

too bad to keep on reading stuff about my country which only harms its image…we, besides history, also have several very good things to be mentioned and be taken more seriously.

Sure, we have our problems (probably no more or less than any large, imperial nation), but we are speaking of noise pollution. Also, you write like a ten year old. I agree with Lee--the noise pollution in this city is disgusting. When I first arrived here a few days ago, I was totally in love with Lima. I looked into apartment rentals in several neighborhoods. I even made a couple of appointments. Two days later I've changed my mind. The noise pollution in Lima is out of control. I live in New York city--in Union Square. There are times of the day when I can count on obnoxious, distracting construction that forces me to close my soundproofed windows. My neighbors play classical music that floods the courtyard, and the occasional car alarm goes off, too. I've been to France, Costa Rica, Mexico, Italy. Nothing compares to the amount of noise pollution in Lima. After three days staying here I've been absolutely appalled by the constant noise. From baying pigeons to honking horns and--worst of all the incessant dog-barking, the noise has totally deterred my interest in living here to learn from the people, the culture, and the unique (to me) geography and climate of Peru. I wish I could record an MP3 of what I'm listening to just as I type this. These sounds are ugly because they signify greater problems. The honking speaks to congested traffic and poor regulation. The pigeons, to pest control issues, and the dogs to anxious, poorly treated animals who require more humane treatment from more responsible owners. And, ugh, the sounds are just maddening. Something must be done about this serious issue, as this unique, colossal and powerful city deserves much better. Dave–You’re attacking the entire country of the United States, you idiot.

With the way people go racing around othewise quiet neighborhoods in their flatulation machines (otherwise known as CARS - with ridiculous aftermarket exhaust systems), the constant BEEPING, the crazy ice cream vendors with their beyond annoyhing "cornetas" - blowing them like they're trying to kill somebody with them, the unending car alarms being played with - on purpose. With all this, somebody is complaining about DOGS??? For crying out loud. I'm American, living in Peru, and I tell you, I have never seen such inconsiderate, and passive/aggressive behavior in my life, resulting in noise levels that are beyond my comprehension.
