The Xoloitzcuintli, also known as the Mexican Hairless Dog, is an ancient breed that comes in three sizes: toy, miniature, and standard. Known for its unique appearance, the Xolo is often hairless, though some may have a short, smooth coat. Its skin can range in color from black, gray, or bronze to a reddish hue. Xolos are intelligent, calm, and affectionate, forming strong bonds with their families. They are known for their loyalty and are often described as "cat-like" in their behavior—independent, reserved with strangers, but deeply attached to their owners. Xolos are relatively low-maintenance in terms of grooming but may need some protection from sunburn or cold weather due to their hairless skin. This breed is ideal for people who can provide consistent attention, a moderate amount of exercise, and a warm environment for them to thrive.
