Hairless Mexican pups gain popularity - Xoloitzcuintles

“The star of the World Dog Show is not the soulful Labrador, the bulldog with attitude or even the manic Chihuahua.

This year, the hairless Xoloitzcuintles (show-low-ee-SQUINT-lees) are stealing the show in their native Mexico. Sleek with bat-like ears, the rare breed looks more like a cartoon character than a canine. But its history dates back to the Aztecs, and it has a special allure for asthmatics or those who just don’t like cleaning up after a shedding dog.”
