The Mexican Hairless Dog was originally bred mainly as a comfort and companion dog. This dog can get along harmoniously with humans and has a particularly gentle temperament. Due to its unattractive appearance, no one has been willing to keep it as a pet until now.
　　The Mexican Hairless Dog is very lively and friendly, cheerful and quiet. It is somewhat wary of strangers and is a lovable pet dog. Its temperament is noble and posture elegant, unlike common hunting or terrier dogs.
　　The Mexican Hairless Dog can get along well with anyone. It enjoys walking more than running and likes to play with people or other dogs. Although its appearance is not optimistic, it never feels sad or inferior because of its unusual looks.
