A pricesless ask a mexican.

Dear Mexican,

When I think of Mexican breeds, one type comes to mind: the Chihuahua,
play toys for fresas like Paris Hilton. After thinking much harder, I
thought of the xoloitzcuintle: bald and edible. Are these dogs the
best representatives of the national character of Mexico? Does a
Chihuahua really fit a nation of macho men and feisty women? Or are
you really a nation of perros electricos: scrappy little survivors in
need of some updated marketing?Dueño de un Perro Eléctrico

Dear Owner of an Electric Dog,

Don't give up so easily, Dueño: Mexico's two indigenous breeds fully
represent the Mexican soul. The American Kennel Club doesn't recognize
the xoloitzcuintle (also known as the Mexican hairless), even though
the noble critters date back millennia, much like Congress won't
recognize illegal Mexicans despite their many years working in the
United States. Chihuahuas are even more quintessentially Mexican:
Napoleonic in complex, clannish, usually brown but available in all
colors, maligned by gabachos as puny runts but secretly ferocious and
smart, and bearers of muchos, muchos babies. Some P.C. pendejos might
cringe at the comparison, but hey: better the anthropomorphic
conversation deal with dogs than cockroaches, ¿qué no?
