This group is specifically for Xolo dogs -- also known as Xoloitzcuintles, Xoloitzcuintlis, Mexican Hairless, Itzcuintle / Itzcuintli. This was the dog of the ancient Aztecs. It is primarily thought of as a hairless dog, but the breed is found in both hairless and coated varieties.

A brief summary of the breed's history, from the website of the Xoloizcuintle Club USA:

"The origins of the Xoloitzcuintle are deeply rooted in the history and culture of Mesoamerican civilization. The Xoloitzcuintle was regarded as the earthly representative of the god Xolotl from which the name originates. In Mesoamerican art, Xolotl is portrayed as a man with a dog's head. He was said to have created a protector and guide for humans in the underworld in the form of the hairless dog, the Xoloitzcuintle. Its task was to accompany the souls of the dead to the eternal resting place. The Xoloitzcuintle is the national dog of Mexico."
