1. Xoloitzcuintli
The Xoloitzcuintli, also known as the Mexican Hairless Dog, is one of the rarest ancient breeds. They have existed for over 3,000 years, dating back to the Aztec civilization. Not a result of breeding experiments, this is a naturally occurring breed. The Aztecs believed these dogs guided souls in 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 skin problems. Xoloitzcuintlis are intelligent and devoted companions. They are known for their calm demeanor, alert personality, and loyalty. Their elevated body temperature makes them excellent therapy dogs, especially for people requiring warmth. Their striking appearance and rich history make them truly exceptional.
