Buddy, a 9-month-old Xoloitzcuintli puppy, is available for sale. He belongs to the coated variety and will be neutered before going to his new home. This delightful puppy has a fondness for children and gets along well with other dogs.
The Xoloitzcuintli, also known as the Xolo or Mexican Hairless dog, comes in three sizes (Toy, Miniature, and Standard) and two varieties (coated and hairless). The hairless variety is the most common, with over 75% of Xolos born without hair, making it the preferred choice. A notable feature of the Xolo is its large, erect ears resembling those of a bat. The specific height ranges for each size category may vary across different breed clubs, but the following measurements apply to the Canadian Kennel Club.
The Toy Xolo stands at a shoulder height of 9 to 13 3/4 inches and weighs between 5 and 15 pounds. The Miniature Xolo stands over 13 3/4 to 18 inches and weighs 15 to 25 pounds. The Standard Xolo stands over 18 to 22 3/4 inches and weighs 25 to 40 pounds. The hairless Xolos are characterized by the almost complete absence of hair, while the coated Xolos have short and dense hair that covers their body and lies flat. They come in various colors, including black, grey, red, liver, bronze, golden yellow, and parti-colors. The darker shade solid colors are particularly in high demand.
While Xolos are not currently recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC), they have been accepted into the AKC foundation stock registry and are eligible to participate in all AKC activities except conformation trials. They are recognized as a breed by the Canadian Kennel Club.
