About Chucho

About Xoloitzcuintli / Mexican Hairless Dogs

Xoloitzcuintlis, or Xolos, are ancient Mexican dogs that come in hairless and coated varieties and three sizes. They are one of the oldest and rarest dog breeds, dating back over 3,000 years. The Aztecs believed they had healing powers and would guide souls to the underworld.

Adopting a Xolo brings a calm, loyal companion with an extraordinary heritage. They are intelligent, attentive, and form strong bonds with their family. The hairless variety is hypoallergenic and needs skin care, while both varieties are clean, quiet, and easy to live with.

Adopting in New York, NY

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

NYC winters bring snow, ice, and salted sidewalks that can irritate paw pads. Use booties or paw wax before walks, and wipe paws when you get home. Wind chill between buildings can be intense, so keep outings shorter for small or thin-coated breeds.

Spring

42°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Spring is one of the best times to explore Central Park, Prospect Park, and the city’s many dog runs as temperatures warm up. Watch for puddles and mud in off-leash areas after rain. Allergy season can affect pets too, so monitor for excessive scratching or sneezing.

Summer

68°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

High humidity and hot pavement are the biggest summer hazards for NYC pets. Walk early morning or after sunset, and always carry water. The city’s concrete retains heat, so test the sidewalk with your hand before heading out.
