Xoloitzcuintli – Mexico’s Ancient Treasure
Mexican breeders carefully preserved these hairless dogs through centuries of change. The AKC’s 2011 recognition sparked renewed interest in both standard and miniature sizes. Their warm skin and striking appearance draw attention at every dog show they attend. Many allergy sufferers seek them out as perfect companions, while others appreciate their quiet dignity and ancient bloodline. Their population steadily rises among heat-loving dog enthusiasts.
