We have a high population of Mexican Americans, but they aren't bringing this breed with them. Winters too cold for furless animals (and I assume it's actually still a fairly rare breed, even in Mexico). But we're aware of them mostly because of reported "chupacabras" that inevitably wind up either one of these or heavily mangy coyotes farther south in Texas, where it's warm enough for hairless animals to survive.
We like to feel superior to Texans, and jokes about "chupacabra dogs" is one way.
