This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I think it's worth pointing out that this is a reconstructed breed and not the lineage used by the Mexica. Those dogs died out with European contact. https://youtu.be/osMu6i2txFA
