Description
ceramic,
Naked dogs are not a modern breed, but have been accompanying humans for around 3,500 years. They probably originated in Mexico, from where they spread across the American continent. The name of the breed, “Xoloitzcuintle”, comes from the Nahuatl language of the Aztecs and means “dog of the god Xolotl”.
