Don’t let the crazy name fool you, the Xoloitzcuintli (sometimes referred to as “Xolo”) is often described as loyal, alert, calm and trainable. Because they are wary of strangers, they make for excellent watchdogs. Xolos do enjoy long walks and upbeat play, but they’re also known to be super calm indoors. Many Xolos are hairless, while others have a short, flat coat.

Allergies are different for everyone, so do your research. Check out WebMD for details on the causes of dog allergies. Also check out the official AKC-approved list of hypoallergenic breeds, or visit the Breeder Retriever for tons of breed information and puppy-parenting tips.
