    I think it’s worth pointing out that this is a reconstructed breed and not the lineage used by the Mexica. Those dogs died out with European contact. https://youtu.be/osMu6i2txFA

    I love Xolos. I feel like they strike the perfect balance of cute and intimidating for walking alone at night. They sometimes win the World’s Ugliest Dog contest but, like this year, are often beat by the Chinese crested dog
