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
Looks like the Egyptian god anubis
This is why they were featured heavily in Coco
Beat me to it. The character designers took several field trips to Mexico to really get an idea of this dog breed
Our lil part breed, we live in AZ so he wears shirts for sun protection cause he is mostly bald.
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

Dam that dog is raising MY self esteem
I looked it up and only some of them have the wild hairdo. Does anyone know why that is? Check out the mohawk on this puppy!
Adorable little punk rocker lol
This badass-looking fellow immediately made me think of Anubis/jackal hieroglyphics. Now I’m wondering if there is a connection.
Those eyes can see beyond this plane of existence.
Also known as a Xolo dog.
Conveniently, a Xolo dog named Dante was Miguel’s alebrije in the movie Coco.
Artist Diego Rivera was known to be fond of Xolo dogs, and there are pictures of him with his dog and Frida Kahlo, whose likeness also had a cameo in Coco and identified Dante as both a Xolo and an Alebrije.
I want to hear the sound of gently slapping one on the side
gently slaps side
“This baby can hold so many trips to the underworld!”
I want to have two, named Fuck Around and Find Out. That is one serious face.
It’s really important for people to know that you are an epic redditor
Yeah those are some really cringey dog names. Foofoocuddlypoops sounds more intimidating than the dog equivalent of an affliction shirt.
This dude looks like he could send you to the underworld.
I want one!
I kinda want one but I’ve read they often have skin problems. I’ve already adopted 2 mutts too, so I’ve got my hands full anyhow.
