Xolo DogBlog

…September 30, 2010 in Slovenia.  We wish all of the people who are attending this show the best of luck and a wonderful time.   May good sportsmanship and friendship be the main focus of the participants who are showing Xoloitzcuintle.   The Xolos are fortunate to have Horst Kliebenstein in their ring and he is very knowledgeable about our breed.  It is important that we be supportive and encouraging of one another in order to  build cooperation for the betterment of our breed.  I especially look forward to the day when the coated Xolo can participate in this type of exhibition.

…and he an his owner are having fun in the ring!!!  Congratulations, Laureen, we are so proud of you…!!!  And, “Yuche” is also an agility Xolo.  Watch for this smart and beautiful little Xolo boy, and his owner,  in the conformation and agility venues in the northwest.
