Ok, so I was going through the dog breeds describing breeds that I think a friend should get, and I came across the Xoloitzcuintli. This dog looks like it might be the devil. I'm just curious, does anyone own this dog, or maybe seen one? Or maybe even just heard of it? Seriously, I'm scared, yet fascinated....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! That is so scary. I'm going to have nightmares tonight.

For anyone that wants to see these 'ugly' dogs, see this.

They aren't devils! That's mean. Don't judge a dog based on its looks. Just because Chihuahuas look like rats doesn't mean they are! Those happen to be really neat dogs.

Hmmm...that first link made me think of those acient egyptian hieroglyphics (I cant spell I think). Anyhoo....I feel like these dogs look like the pictures of dogs that you would see on some pyramid wall or something...ya'll understand what I'm saying?

One particular picture of the dog looks like it is the Jersey Devil. (or pictures of the jersey devil)

I think we should all steer clear of the mean comments. =) they're very cute dogs. I don't like the looks of some dogs but I can't judge the whole breed.

Oh Sarah, I wasnt tryin to be mean. That's just my humor...Anyways, I didnt say they were devils (I dont think....I have a bad memory), but that they look like they might be...MIGHT (at least I think that's what I said). Anyhoo, I dont judge a dog on looks, I never said that the dog was evil and I would never own one and they should all be killed...that would be judging. I merely pointed out that it was scary looking, and wanted more info (although this websites pic looks a lot scarier than the ones on the links kerri gave).

And yes, according to the link they are also known as the Mexican Hairless dog.

And I didn't say the dog was ugly, just scary looking. Two different things. And I wouldnt describe them as "cute"...I think that dog would kick your a** if you said that to it's face :). More noble.

I am sorry but I think they are cute. There have been many used for medicinal reasons because of their body heat.

Here are some better pictures.

Ok, see, this is what I want. Katz: What about thier body heat? Is it high? low? how are they used?
test
Posted: 11:19:31 PM 11/23/2004
they're kinda weird looking, but no more so than the chinese crested, or pugs, or puli, or bulldogs look weird in their own special way.

Their body heat is high. They are used to help pain in the neck and lower back. Sounds funny huh? But it is true because of their size they can ride up on your neck while you are driving and it is supposed to help certain people with (I am sorry I cannot remember what problem it is) but it is supposed to really help them.
Because they have no fur, they don't hold their body heat in as well, their bodies are very hot, I have pet one, her name was salsa and she was super friendly. Other then no fur, she was just like any other dog.

I thought from the pic it had short black fur? Going to check out Kerri's links also :-) .

Wow! Those are neat! I wonder if they would be on the list of dogs that are good for those with allergies?
test
Posted: 11:39:49 PM 11/23/2004
I think I read somewhere that they are good with allergies....also, thanks katz, it sounds like I need to get one...I have frequent neck spasms that results in migraines and if I'm really stressed out, a very painful stiff neck. Hmmm....

Beauty (and ugliness) are in the eyes of the beholder. I'm sure if you polled everyone on this forum you would get different opinions on what dogs are beautiful and which ones are ugly. Or which ones are so ugly, they're cute. That's what's great about dog breeds. There's at least one for everybody.

When I was in Vegas in March we stayed at the Luxor, which is all Egyptian themed of course. I purchased a small wooden black statue of a dog that looks very similar to that picture scout was talking about. It's really neat. It came with a paper explaining what it was and what it meant but I'm not going to dig it out now.

My personal opinion is this is one of those so ugly it's cute dogs, and just so no one is offended I tell my own pug that all the time.

Scout, I don't see you not being able to handle your big dogs or being able to sweep. Ever. LOL You'll probably be the dog lady. You know like the legendary cat ladies who have tons of them in their house. We'll say yours are all clean and cared for though, not like the hoarders. :)
