Xoloitzcuintli
Pronounced ‘show-low-eats-queent-lee,’ this Mexican hairless dog was considered a spiritual guide to the afterlife in ancient Aztec civilizations.
Known as the ‘dog of the gods,’ this breed is alert and very loyal to its owner. Its firm, smooth skin and sharp intelligence make this breed unique.
However, its deep loyalty can lead to territoriality and overprotective tendencies. While its mysterious appearance can be intimidating, proper training can prevent issues.
This breed requires consistent and skilled training from a very young age, so most experts only recommend it for experienced handlers.
