Q. & A. with Arani
Why did you start breeding?
25 years ago we started with imported German shepherd dogs and worked with working lines. It has evolved over time to what I'm doing today.
What makes your program special?
I have a limited number of litters (1-2) a year solely raised inside along side my family. The puppies are exposed to all kinds of home noises preparing them for their new homes.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have hairless coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and chocolate, chocolate and tan, black, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Mapleleaf AHT reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for American Hairless Terriers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
