1. Xoloitzcuintli


The Xoloitzcuintli, also called the Mexican Hairless Dog, is one of the oldest and rarest breeds, dating back over 3,000 years to the Aztec era. Unlike many modern breeds, this is a naturally occurring breed, not the result of selective breeding. The Aztecs believed these dogs guided souls to the afterlife. Xoloitzcuintlis can be hairless or coated and come in toy, miniature, and standard sizes. Their exposed skin requires regular care to prevent sunburn and irritation. Known for their intelligence and calm demeanor, they are loyal companions. Their warm bodies make them excellent therapy dogs, offering comfort to those in need. With their striking looks and deep history, Xoloitzcuintlis truly stand out.
