XOLOXoloitzcuintli Giá

The Xoloitzcuintli is an indigenous breed that boasts of two distinct varieties: hairless and coated. Believed to have been domesticated over 3,000 years ago, the Xolo comes from a definition derived from two Nahuatl words. “Xolotl” refers to the Aztec god of fire and death, while “itzcuintli” translates to “dog.” This etymology encapsulates a breed that was viewed historically as a symbol of the spiritual journey after death, believed to escort souls to the underworld.

The breed has unique physical characteristics, most notably its hairlessness, which takes center stage in public perception. This feature not only distinguishes the Xolo from many other dog breeds but also contributes to its allure. It has a body that can either be completely devoid of fur or possess a short coat. The Xoloitzcuintli's features, combined with its keen intelligence and loyalty, make it a loving companion for families and individuals alike.
