Here’s another of the six breeds newly recognized by The American Kennel Club that will make their TV debut this weekend at The National Dog Show in Philadelphia.  This is the Xoloitzcuintli – pronounced show-low-eats-queen-tlee or “Xolo”.  This is a dog from Mexico that comes in a hairless and coated variety plus 3 sizes, toy, miniature and standard.  With a reputation as a healer, the breed and its warm skin is often put to use in remote Mexican and Central American villages to ward off and cure ailments like rheumatism, asthma, toothache and insomnia. Xolos were also believed to safeguard the home from evil spirits and intruders.  Come on out to The National Dog Show this weekend to meet the Xolo and many other breeds that you may never have seen in person before.
