The Calupoh is a canine breed native to Mexico, a hybrid of dog and wolf. It was developed in the 1990s in a cultural heritage project intended to recreate the ancient Mexican wolfdogs mentioned in pre-Columbian texts and depicted in Mayan and Aztec artwork. In September 1999 it was recognized as a breed by the Federación Canófila Mexicana, the kennel club of Mexico, bringing the number of Mexican breeds to three – the others are the Chihuahua and the Xoloitzcuintle.
Despite being a breed with pre-Hispanic inspiration, the Calupoh is a mix of Mexican wolf with Husky and German Shepherd, the latter specimens non-existent in pre-Hispanic Mexico. They are specimens with relatively recent genetics, since their genetic stability is not yet fully defined. With an irregularly early certification endorsed by the Federación Canófila Mexicana (Mexican Kennel Federation), its participation in competitions has been endorsed by breeding organization Criadero Caliente, under the initiative of Mexican politician Jorge Hank Rhon.
