Mexican Hairless

Native to Mexico, it originated in the 16th century. A small pleasure dog, this dog is relatively similar to the Chinese Crested, both hairless, with a head that looks like a small animal mongoose that specializes in snakes and a body that looks like a small, spotted pig.

The Mexican Hairless's pink, wrinkled skin is covered with freckles and has fawn-colored hair covering just between the ears where the blood vessels are clearly visible, the slimy jaws, and the end of the rat-like tail. The Mexican Hairless has a long, slender head and narrow skull. The ears usually grow at an angle of 50° to 80°. The eyes are slightly almond-shaped.

The muzzle is gradually pointed and thin. The carapace is deep and fairly narrow at the thorax, reaching to the elbows, with long, straight front legs. The soft back continues to the rounded tail.

The feet are small and the toe tips can be retracted, resembling rabbit feet. The tail is long, low in the long position and gradually slender to the tip of the tail.

The coat is hairless. The skin is hot to the touch because of the dog's high body temperature. Short liver colored hair, short blue hair, and short black hair.

The Outer Mexican Hairless Dog is one of 27 Mexican Hairless Dogs in all of England. Its head looks like a mongoose, a small animal that specializes in snakes, and its body looks like a small, spotted pig. The combination of these two physical features is not really like earth creatures. The Mexican Hairless was originally bred primarily to be a comfort dog and companion dog, a dog that gets along well with humans and has a particularly mild temperament, but no one wants to breed it because of its ugly appearance.

The Mexican Hairless is very lively and friendly, cheerful and quiet, wary of strangers, and a lovely pet dog. It has a noble temperament and elegant posture, unlike the average hound or terrier.

The Mexican Hairless can get along with anyone, preferring to walk rather than run, and enjoys playing with people or his own kind.
