The Xoloitzcuintle (/ʃltsˈkwntl/), or Xolo, also known as the Mexican hairless dog, is a breed of dog from Mexico. Most have no hair but some are born with hair (coated). The Xolo also has wrinkled skin. It is found in three sizes: toy, miniature, and standard. Its name is from the Nahuatl language, where it is called xōlōitzcuintli (singular)[1] and xōlōitzcuintin (plural).[1] The name comes from the god Xolotl and itzcuīntli, meaning dog in Nahuatl.[1]
