About the Mexican Hairless
The Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican Hairless) is one of the oldest and rarest breeds in the world, dating back over 3,000 years to the Aztecs. They come in three sizes (toy, miniature, standard) and two varieties (hairless and coated). They are calm, loyal, and make excellent companions. Their lack of hair makes them ideal for allergy sufferers.
