For owners considering using a Mexican title for their Chihuahua, you will want to carefully consider the breed’s personal traits and physical characteristics. For being so tiny, they truly have a way of just taking over any home and any situation in a sweet and endearing way. The Xolo is also a small Mexican pooch with a big personality, although these pets are known for not having a great deal of hair. This can actually be an advantage for an owner living in a hot climate zone.

Some owners might want to consider Mexican or Spanish names for dogs for their new pup simply because they like the sound of it. There are some choices that simply roll off the tongue and might be perfectly suited for any pooch!
