xoloitzcuintlis (breed) (Canis familiaris (species), Canis (genus), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |

Note: Refers to hairless dogs in Mexico, whether modern dogs or as seen in more ancient depictions. The xoloitzcuintli (xolo) is a breed of Mexican dog having pink or gray skin and very little hair except for a topknot and fuzz on its long tail; dogs with short coats also appear in many litters. The history of the breed is under discussion by experts. Domesticated dogs entered North America from Siberia over 9,000 years ago; some pre-European-contact dogs had an appearance similar to the modern xolo and were considered sacred by the Mexica, Toltecs, Maya, and other groups. However, in modern xolos, little to none of the older, indigenous dogs' DNA remains; modern xolos were probably descended from hairless Chinese or African dogs that were introduced by Spanish traders to Mexico in the late 16th century. In Mexico the breed is referred to as the "Chinese dog"; however, DNA analysis did not find a close genetic relationship between the xolo and the Chinese Crested Dog, which has a similar appearance.

| Spanish ..... Se refiere a los perros sin pelo en México, ya sean perros modernos o como se ven en las representaciones más antiguas. El xoloitzcuintli (xolo) es una raza de perro mexicano que tiene la piel rosada o gris y muy poco pelo, excepto por un nudo en la parte superior y una pelusa en su larga cola; los perros de pelo corto también aparecen en muchas camadas. La historia de la raza está siendo discutida por los expertos. Los perros domésticos entraron en Norteamérica desde Siberia hace más de 9.000 años; algunos perros de contacto preeuropeos tenían una apariencia similar al xolo moderno y eran considerados sagrados por los Mexicas, Toltecas, Mayas y otros grupos. Sin embargo, en los xolos modernos, poco o nada de los antiguos restos de ADN de los perros indígenas; los xolos modernos probablemente descendieron de los perros sin pelo chinos o africanos que fueron introducidos por los comerciantes españoles en México a finales del siglo XVI. En México la raza se denomina "perro chino"; sin embargo, el análisis de ADN no encontró una relación genética estrecha entre el xolo y el perro chino con cresta, que tiene un aspecto similar. |
