REIAC reports that Luna is the most popular name.
Common Mexican dog breeds include the Chihuahua, Xoloitzcuintli or “Xolo” (also known as the Mexican Hairless Dog), and the Calupoh (also called the Mexican Wolfdog).
Many Spanish dog names are inspired by nature. Others may come from Spanish foods like Taco, Salsa, or Tostone.
