YES, Dogs were historically bred for their meat by the Aztecs. Hernán Cortés reported that when he arrived in Tenochtitlan in 1519, "small gelded dogs which they breed for eating" were among the goods sold in the city markets. These dogs were called itzcuintlis, and were similar to the modern Mexican Hairless Dog. They were often pictured on pre-Columbian Mexican pottery.
