1. Xoloitzcuintli

The Xoloitzcuintli or Mexican Hairless Dog ranks among the oldest living breeds with roots more than 3,000 years back in Aztec culture. It arose naturally rather than through modern selective design. Ancient people believed the dogs escorted spirits after death. Xolos appear in hairless and coated forms plus toy miniature and standard sizes. Bare skin needs routine protection from sun and irritation. Intelligent calm and steadfast they bond closely. Their naturally warm bodies can comfort people needing soothing heat. Their dramatic outline and deep cultural legacy set them apart.
