The Mexican Hairless Dog, also known as the Xoloitzcuintli or Xolo, is a unique breed famed for its almost complete lack of fur, a trait that dates back over 3,000 years to the ancient Aztecs. Size varies from toy (around 25 cm tall) to standard (up to 60 cm), and they typically weigh between 4 to 18 kg, depending on size. Known for their calm and loyal temperament, Xolos are surprisingly resilient to heat and skin issues due to their hairlessness, but they do require sunscreen and moisturising in harsh sun.
Prices in Australia can range from about $2,000 to $5,000 AUD for a puppy, with used or older dogs occasionally found on PuppyList or Tradingpost. If you’re after a low-shedding companion with a wild pedigree and a knack for being a little aloof yet affectionate, this breed might just score a place in your heart—and your Instagram feed.
