Dog breed

Calupoh

Origin: Mexico

Also known as: Mexican wolfdog, Perro lobo mexicano

The Calupoh is a canine breed native to Mexico. It was developed in the 1990s in a cultural heritage project intended to recreate the ancient Mexican wolfdogs mentioned in pre-Columbian texts and depicted in Mayan and Aztec artwork. In September 1999 it was recognized as a breed by the Federación Canófila Mexicana, the kennel club of Mexico, bringing the number of Mexican canine breeds to three – the others are the Chihuahua and the Xoloitzcuintle.
