Guardians of a 3,000-Year Legacy
The Xoloitzcuintli (or Xolo) is one of the world’s oldest and rarest dog breeds, tracing its roots back over 3,000 years to the Aztec and Maya civilizations.
Known as the spiritual guide to the afterlife, the Xolo is more than a pet it’s a living piece of Mexican heritage, revered for its intelligence, loyalty, and calm nature.
