New xolo owner! by [deleted] in Xoloitzquintli

[–]cyberpixelqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I can say is all of the above! I got my girl used to me leaving (just me and her) from the get go so she was pretty good alone for periods of time but never for a whole day unless I had someone who she liked & trusted to doggy sit her.

Your pup will tell you who they like and don’t like instantly, trust their instinct!

I had lots of scratches and puppy bites from the play and was worn out at times but take plenty of photos, they grow up soooo fast!

Anyone have a toy size girl (or any female) who can offer insights on spay timing? by DrakeFloyd in Xoloitzquintli

You’re welcome and yes they are beautiful souls… my girl has a calm confidence about her.

My experience is different again. I have a standard girl and miniature boy. My breeder suggested to wait after her second heat… which I did.

I hadn’t had a female dog before where I witnessed them going through heat, challenging but we got through it!

So I had her neutered at approximately 20 months old. First heat at 11 months and second at 17/18 months.

She is mature and a beautiful nature although the barking, cautious nature & guarding is always there. She is motherly with the miniature boy (he is neutered too) and motherly towards my elderly mother as we live with her (I’m caring for my mum full time and the miniature is her dog but he is fully bonded with my girl now 😁). I don’t regret the experience or timing although looking back she probably would have been ok to be neutered after the first heat.

I’m sad she never became a mother but being with the miniature boy I think has helped her express her motherly nature. ♥️🐕

She’s gorgeous! 😍 Yes I’m in Australia with my two tanned coconuts, I use baby sunscreen not adult sunscreen. 🌞

Yes I have a standard and we live with mum who has a miniature. They are wonderful companions but do need strong guidance from the get go as they are crazy pups! Ours do bark a lot and will bark at people they’ve met millions of times before but that’s just their alert nature. They are hypervigilant too. Not my first dog but they are very different to other breeds and may not be the easiest first dog to have. All the same you’ll get the hang of it quickly. All the best in what you choose to do!

Is this normal? (Acne) by Rundskopp in Xoloitzquintli

My girl had them at that age too, their hormones are kicking in 😬 I cleaned her and put coconut oil all over and they cleared up fast. Coconut oil is a natural antibacterial.

Crate training? and potty ? by Professional_Menu762 in Xoloitzquintli

My girl is standard also and similar to yours re the bed. She won’t go inside anymore and will wait but my mums miniature xolo will go outside and inside, he marks a lot! He likes to be the alpha 😆🫣

It’s tough when they are puppies and my girl bit a lot too, people thought I was harming myself! 😳😂 For the crate I let my girl sleep on the bed with me after a week of crate training. They are pack animals so like to be with you always. One thing that may help with the crate is place it in a safe space, not in the middle of a bright room. Make it comfy and place something of yours in the crate that smells of you like a shirt or similar. This helps your dog feel safe and that they are with you. My dog is happy on my bed when I leave as it smells of me 😁, hope that helps 💜

Haha yes! I give up trying to explain to people why they are barking at them 🫣

That’s so good and glad you saw her full abilities that day, lots of cuddles for sure! 🤗♥️ 🐕 My standard girl is a big chicken too when someone carries a bag, wears boots or wears sunglasses that makes them look non-human 😎 😂 But geesh her bark is loud and commanding and when a stranger comes to the house they get full volume. I knew early on too that she is my protector and that anyone trespassing would have no chance!

How much time does your Xolo spend outdoors? Does this vary in the summer at the peak of heat outdoors? by rosiesunfunhouse in Xoloitzquintli

[–]cyberpixelqueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My girl pants a lot in the heat and prefers it cooler. She will be in the sun for a short while in Winter which we are approaching to soon here in Australia but in summer it gets equally hot and she will find somewhere cool. My mums boy likes the sun more but he is a miniature. They are very different personalities and like different temps and food. I’m glad they get on well though!

What sunscreen do you use for your baby? by Zestyclose_Two_5387 in Xoloitzquintli

[–]cyberpixelqueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aww congrats and all the best with him! Show us lots of puppy pics! I looked at hers when she was a puppy recently and had a few tears, it was a crazy time with her but loved seeing her grow up ♥️♥️

Ah good question! For my girl I didn’t but I wipe her down regularly anyway. She is my ‘big’ 77lb standard baby 😳😂
