They (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peruvian_Hairless_Dog) look very similar to Mexican Xoloitzcuintli (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Hairless_Dog). Anyone knows what the difference is?

[edit] Wrong link

This seems to be a reasonable reference for differentiating them: https://janedogs.com/xoloitzcuintlie-and-peruvian-hairless-d...

I do love that the wikipedia entries just say "Not to be confused with..." but then don't say why.

Great reference, thank you very much! Lots of interesting stuff, for example:

"They apparently learned to bark from the European dogs brought to the region after the Spanish Conquest"

What is it with pyramids and hairless pets. Egyptian hairless cats, anyone?
