Machu Picchu is an ancient Incan citadel of Peru that attracts tourists all year round.  It is also the name proposed for the puppy that Peruvian dog lovers want to gift the new President of the US. 

As the elder daughter of the President, 10-year old Malia, is allergic to dogs, a compleetely hairless dog (Peruvian Hairless Dog)has been offered as a gift.  This dog's original ancestor can be traced back to 3000 years!  

This breed was favored by the Incan rulers.  It has an elegant bearing, is intelligent, friendly and almost ideal for people who are allergic to dogs.
