Xoloitzcuintli Top 10 Facts ( You Didn't Know )

The Xoloitzcuintli is a revered breed from Mexico and one of the oldest on record.
This is a unique breed that has a rich and somewhat supernatural history.
The first AKC-registered Xolo dog was named Mee Too, and in 1940 another Xolo named Chinito Jr became the first Xolo to become an AKC champion. The standard and miniature sizes were recognized by the AKC until 1959 when Xolo numbers dropped and registrations dwindled.
Fortunately, fans of Xolos brought the breed back from the brink of extinction. The Xoloitzcuintli Club of America (XCA) was founded in October 1986 and recognized all three sizes and varieties at their first official meeting. The XCA worked tirelessly on regaining AKC acceptance, and in May 2008, the AKC readmitted the breed to its Miscellaneous Class, beginning in January 2009.
The breed was finally eligible to be shown in the AKC Non-Sporting group as of January 2011. In February 2012, the Xolo first appeared at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
Xolos tend to live long lives of 15 to 20 years of age. Since the Xolo is an ancient breed that has changed little over thousands of years, they are normally not prone to breed-specific health problems like other breeds modified by human breeding efforts. Since these dogs originated in tropical climates, they are not suited for the outdoors in colder climates.
They also need sunscreen when in the sun for long periods of time Xolos require diligent skin care, or skin problems, like acne, may result.

Incorrect. Xolos DO NOT sweat through their skin or under their arms. They cool themselves like all other dogs through panting & releasing heat from their paws & its Xolotl not Xoloti
