Xoloitzcuintli Doormat #3 | Dante Dog Welcome Mat

Ancient, sacred, and utterly unlike any other dog on earth — the Xoloitzcuintli (show-lo-eats-QUEENT-lee) is one of the world’s oldest and rarest breeds, with a history stretching back over 3,000 years. Revered by the Aztecs as a sacred guide to Mictlan, the underworld, the Xolo was believed to heal the sick, ward off evil spirits, and accompany the souls of the dead on their final journey. Known by many names — Xolo, Mexican Hairless, Naked Dog, Velvet Dog, Dante, The Coco Dog, Chupacabra, Little Monster, Hot Water Bottle, Heater Hound, Aztec Healing Dog, God Dog — this is a breed that carries centuries of mythology in its smooth, warm skin. Today, the Xolo is a devoted, calm, and deeply loyal companion — and one of the most conversation-starting dogs you’ll ever encounter at a front door.

This Xoloitzcuintli Doormat #3 features a striking Xolo illustration that replaces the letter O in the word HOME, creating a design that’s both bold and deeply personal. It’s made for Xolo owners, Mexican Hairless Dog enthusiasts, and anyone who wants their front door to honour one of the world’s most ancient and extraordinary breeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this doormat designed for?
This doormat is designed for Xoloitzcuintli owners, Mexican Hairless Dog enthusiasts, and anyone who has a genuine appreciation for one of the world’s oldest and most extraordinary dog breeds. Whether you call yours a Xolo, a Naked Dog, a Velvet Dog, or simply the God Dog, this mat is a fitting welcome for homes that celebrate this ancient breed.

What makes this doormat unique?
Rather than a standard printed mat, this design features a Xoloitzcuintli illustration that replaces the letter O in the word HOME — a clever, breed-proud detail that makes the design feel intentional and personal. The natural coir construction gives it an earthy, textured finish that complements the subject beautifully, and the design is printed to stay vivid through regular use.

What sizes are available?
This coir doormat is available in three sizes: 16"x24" (41x61cm), 18"x30" (46x76cm), and 24"x36" (61x91cm). The 18"x30" is the most popular choice for standard front doors, while the 24"x36" suits wider entryways and double doors. For more dog breed doormat styles, browse our full Dog Breed Collection.

Can this mat be used outdoors?
This coir doormat is best suited to sheltered or covered outdoor spaces such as a porch, canopy, or recessed entryway where it won’t be exposed to direct rain or standing water. Prolonged moisture can degrade natural coir fibers over time. If you need a mat for a fully exposed outdoor space, take a look at our all-weather version of this design.

What is the mat made from?
This doormat is made from natural coir fiber — the coarse, durable material derived from coconut husks — with a heavy-duty non-slip rubber backing. Coir is a traditional doormat material prized for its ability to scrape and trap dirt effectively at the threshold. It’s a natural, biodegradable choice for those who prefer materials that come from the earth.

Is this a good gift for a Xolo lover?
Absolutely — this mat makes a thoughtful and distinctive gift for anyone who loves the Xoloitzcuintli. It’s practical, durable, and carries a design that feels personal rather than off-the-shelf. Tag us @pupularmats and show us your Xolo mat at the front door.
