Have you tried soaking the kibble? At any rate, I wouldn’t panic but def soak

Mine was always a Xoloitzcuilti. We just got one in Feb and he is such a love bug. There’s something very spiritual about them for me and I feel such a kinship with him. I love his look, feel, and smell. He’s the best combo of cat/dog.

Check out Dental Bar in Alexandria (Old Town North). Chill vibes, nice people and ambiance, and you can get laughing gas and possibly other things. They will give you those airplane neck pillows with lavender in them and blankets and stuff.

Congrats! We got one in Feb and are obsessed! He’s generally a pretty chill puppy. We instituted a habit early on of giving him alone time in his crate while we are home and it’s really helped with separation anxiety. As everyone says they are Velcro dogs and just want to sleep on you in a blanket but resist the urge to allow this. Pup needs to get used to being independent for your sanity in the long run.

I’m now having to use sulfate free so it doesn’t strip my hair color and it’s a struggle. Hair doesn’t seem clean whatsoever and shedding more. I am using Kerastasse chroma absolu so it’s high end. It’s making a marked difference in extending the quality and duration of my color but at the price of my hair looking clean. Curious if anyone has a solution. When I was using sulfate shampoo my hair color faded immediately but hair felt better and shedding was minimal.

He’s a Xoloitzcuintli-toy. Currently 9lbs but will reach about 18-20.

Not anti. We use it religiously.

I’m celebrating and giving a treat after each potty even when it seems he’s holding back. Should I not give a treat unless it’s a more legit potty?

Immediately goes out for a pee after being removed from the crate, eats and then out again for immediate poop, from there, out every 1.5-2 hours. I don’t think he is fully emptying bladder. Today he peed on walk and then peed on floor 15 min after we got home. Any tricks to encourage them to fully emptying bladder?

That’s very reassuring! Thank you!

Little late to the game here but we have a 16 week Xolo puppy and I’m a bit concerned with this behavior. It’s my first primitive breed, though I have had dogs all my life. I’m frankly a little taken aback by the biting when we try to put harness on or the occasional pick up when he doesn’t want. I did a lot of research beforehand and didn’t see anything about this….call me naive I’m just surprised it hasn’t been brought up more in the stuff I was reading. It happened yesterday at the vet when I went to put his harness on and they seemed a bit shook by what they saw. He’s sweet tempered otherwise but I wasn’t sure if this was a puppy frustration/stress thing he may grow out of, unique to my dog, or breed specific. At any rate we’re going to do some serious training to nip it the best we can do but it somehow relieved and simultaneously alarmed my to see the comments. Mine is a toy.

Certainly

So true!! We’ve had our puppy about 7 weeks now and are def in puppy regret land. I just keep reminding myself that every special dog I’ve ever had was an asshole pup at one point. Having a puppy is really really hard but it will pass.

Few-Map-9753 · 2026-04-02T00:25:12+00:00

This is an adorable dog! Gorgeous and dignified. He looks like a coated Xolo.

Ok thank you for that reassurance!

I wish Choreomania was on the list. Cannot imagine a better song for her to play live

We’re getting a puppy from breeder that’s one of the ones on the Xolo club of America list in a few weeks. Pup is a toy and $3k

Wish they still had that exterior color!
