Xoloitzcuintli (Xolo) dogs

Are you thinking about getting a dog, but hate pet hair around the house? Then maybe a Xolo (Xoloitzuintil) is for you!

Xolo’s are hairless, often with short, coarse hair on the head and extremities, or single-coated with a short, smooth coat.

Xolo’s personality is attentive, fearless, calm, protective and often aloof with strangers. Their top traits are loyalty, cleanliness and intelligence. They are great companions and enjoy being around their owners in addition to making a good watch dogs.

Xolo’s skin will require some work on your part. If you live in a hot, sunny area, you will need to apply sunscreen to keep their skin from burning. If you live in a colder area, you will need to make sure your Xolo has a doggie coat to wear outside.
