1. Xoloitzcuintli
The Xoloitzcuintli, often called the Mexican Hairless Dog, ranks among the rarest ancient breeds. With a history spanning over 3,000 years back to Aztec times, this breed emerged naturally, not through human experiments. The Aztecs revered them as guides for souls in the afterlife. Available in hairless or coated varieties and in toy, miniature, and standard sizes, their bare skin demands regular care to avoid sunburn and irritation. Xoloitzcuintlis are clever and devoted partners. Known for their serene demeanor, keen awareness, and unwavering loyalty, their warmer body temperature also makes them ideal therapy dogs for those seeking comfort. Their bold look and ancient legacy make them utterly unforgettable.
