Xoloitzcuintli: The Ancient Breed That'll Steal Your Heart (and Keep it Warm!)
Hold up! You're scrolling through social media when a dog that looks like it just stepped out of an ancient Aztec temple catches your eye. You pause, mesmerized by this hairless, enigmatic creature with a backstory that's the stuff of legends. Say hello to the Xoloitzcuintli (pronounced "show-low-eats-queen-tlee"), or Xolo for short – a dog breed that's part ancient guardian, part modern-day bestie. Fun fact: our very own Signature Pet Transport Founder and President, Christian Diaz, is a proud Xolo owner! Let's dive into the world of this extraordinary breed and explore how our in-cabin air transport services can cater to Xolo owners' pet travel needs.
A History That's the Bee's Knees:
The Xoloitzcuintli is one of the world's oldest and rarest dog breeds, with roots stretching back over 3,500 years. Originally from Mexico, they were revered by the Aztecs and considered sacred, believed to guide their masters through the underworld to the afterlife. Xolos were also used as healing dogs, said to have the power to cure various ailments just by cuddling with their owners. Yup – Xolos were the OG "Hot Dogs"!

Xolo's Characteristics – More Than Just a Hairless Wonder:
Even though the hairless variety is the star of the show, the Xolo comes in both hairless and coated versions, as well as three sizes: toy, miniature/intermediate, and standard. Christian Diaz, our Founder and President, is a proud owner of two gorgeous, loving standard Xolos named Julian and Enola. But don't be fooled by their unique appearance; Xolos are intelligent, affectionate, and loyal pets. They make great watchdogs, as they're naturally protective and vigilant. And for allergy sufferers, hallelujah! Xolos are semi-hypoallergenic due to their lack of fur, making them a popular choice for those with pet allergies.
Xolos can be either hairless or coated!

The breed's calm and gentle nature makes them perfect companions for families, singles, and seniors alike. They do need socialization, mental stimulation, and regular exercise, but after a good romp, they'll happily curl up with you to binge-watch the latest Netflix series. Xolos are also known for their cat-like grooming habits and a love for sunbathing. So if you've ever wanted a dog that's also a bit like a cat, the Xolo is your answer!
