A family of Xolos, one of the most ancient dog breeds in the world

 

About the Breed

The 5,000-year-old Xoloitzcuintli (pronounced "show-low-eats-QUEENT-lee"), the ancient Aztec dog of the gods, is today a loving companion and vigilant watchdog.

The Xoloitzcuintli comes in three sizes (toy, miniature, and standard), and two varieties (hairless and coated). The hairless has tough, smooth, close-fitting skin. The coated variety is covered by a short, flat coat. Both varieties come in dark colors ranging from black, gray-black, and slate to red, liver, or bronze. Its face is thoughtful and intelligent, and a Xolo's forehead will wrinkle when he's deep in thought. The Xolo's graceful, elegant body is surprisingly strong and rugged.

More information on the Xoloitzcuintli dog breed can be found at The American Kennel Club.
