Frida

Office Dog

Frida is a Mexican Hairless dog. She comes to the office to nap in the sun and guard the front door.

The Mexican Hairless, a.k.a. Xoloitzcuintli (“sho-low-eets-queen-tlee”) is the oldest dog breed in North America. The hairlessness comes from a spontaneous natural mutation that happened over 2000 years ago. The breed was revered as a sacred healing dog of the Aztecs, Toletcs, and Maya.

Frida was named after the famous artist Frida Kahlo who also owned and painted this ancient breed of dog.
