The Xoloitzcuintli is a small, hairless dog breed that originates from Mexico. The name Xoloitzcuintli comes from the Aztec word “xolotl”, which means “dog”, and “itzcuintli”, which means “small”.

The Xoloitzcuintli is an ancient breed that was once believed to have mystical powers. It was also thought to be a good luck charm and was often given as a gift to newlyweds or newborn babies.

Xoloitzcuintlis come in three sizes: toy, miniature, and standard. They can be either hairless or have a short, course coat. Hairless Xoloitzcuintlis are the most popular type and have smooth, leathery skin that can range in color from black to grey to pink. Coated Xoloitzcuintlis have a short, dense coat that is brown or black in color.

Xoloitzcuintlis are intelligent, loyal, and loving dogs. They make great companions and are excellent with children. They do not require much exercise but enjoy walks and playing fetch.

If you are looking for an unusual dog breed that will stand out from the crowd, the Xoloitzcuintli is the perfect choice!
