Strider’s American Hairless Terriers
Meet the breeder
I'm Debbie H., the breeder behind Strider’s American Hairless Terriers located in Texas. Our program was built with care and intention in every step. We are passionate about this breed, and we want our program to be an example of how to responsibly breed high-quality, healthy dogs. We believe our dogs can be beautiful, healthy and athletic whether they are performing in the ring or at home. Our dogs are currently excelling in multiple sports disciplines which is a testament to their temperament, drive and ability to perform. Our absolute highest goal is for your Strider puppy to find his forever home, whether as a competitor in the ring or the king of your lap.
Q. & A. with Debbie
What makes your program special?
AS young developing breed, our focus is good temperaments, while improving structure & movement. We have managed in 10 yrs to create a line of dogs that are consistently winning in both the show & performance rings. Strider dogs have consistently placed at Westminster, Royal Canin and the AHT Nationals every yr since 2019. We have the 2023 & 2025 National AHT Specialty Best of Breed winners, & the 2024 Best of Breed Westminster winner. Also, the 2025 UKC National Specialty Best of Breed winner, the 2024 & 2025 #1 UKC AHT and the 2025 Top 10 AHT Premier UKC Nationals were ours. Strider dogs have consistently ranked nationally in Conformation, Dock diving, fast cat, scentwork and agility with Invitational Qualifiers in 2024 & 2025 for Fast Cat, Agility and Dock Diving Nationals. We believe our program is still a work in progress as we strive to push the AHT breed & our program to further heights of success. One of our most important gauges of success is our repeat customer base which is a testament to the health and stability of our dogs as companions in the home.Where do your breeding dogs live?

Program update on 21 Oct 2025 •…“Huey” Striders Hip To Be Square is looking for a couch near you! Huey has decided that he’d rather be a star at home instead of in the ring. He’s a beautiful, funny, personality plus 4.5 month black/white piebald boy who loves to cuddle. He’s well on his way to potty trained & is turf pad trained. He’s crate trained-leash trained, tolerates the drimmel and rides well in the car daily to and from work. He lives with a Doberman ad has been exposed to cats. He is a Riker by Match puppy and has completed all of his vaccinations and is microchipped. Give us a shout if you’d like to know how to bring a little more Hip in your life!
Parent health testing
Excellent level
Strider’s American Hairless Terriers 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, Primary Lens Luxation (PLL)
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).
