They are shaft tomb pieces so it’s pretty hard to identify origin as they are all from raided tombs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason they were all fat is that they were bred strictly as a food source.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, they were brought back from near extinction by Dolores Olmedo, a “patron” of Diego Rivera-needless to say, she and Freida were not friends lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dogs continue to be bred on her amazing estate in Mexico City and I highly recommend going there-gorgeous grounds and fabulous art including shelved and shelves of the dogs along with a huge Diego collection and a smaller Freida one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apologies if this repeats the links.
