Lo que asumes

Nadie ha escrito todavía este lado. Es un juicio y no datos, así que espera a una persona — no a una fuente que falte.

Extraído de fuentes y no escrito como opinión — investigación de salud citada, el estándar del propio registro, y estudios de longevidad revisados por pares. Estándar de la raza, FCI. Los animales de un criador pueden diferir de todo esto, y una columna vacía significa que no tenemos nada de ese lado, no que no haya nada que decir.

Characteristics

Estándar de la FCI · Xoloitzcuintle

Pelo y color

Tal como lo establece el estándar de la FCI. Cada línea de abajo está en las palabras del propio estándar, etiquetada con preferred.

Coat

Hairless variety: The characteristic of this breed is the total lack of hair on the body (hairless or nude dog) although there are some short, coarse thick hairs of any colour on the forehead and back of the neck that should never be longer than 2.5 centimetres and should never form a long, soft topknot.

It is common to find coarse hair on the feet and on the end of the tail

however its absence should not be penalized.

Coated Variety: This variety has hair all over its body.

It can be expected to have very little hair on its belly and inside the rear legs.

The hair should be short, flat, preferably smooth and with no undercoat

Health guide

What to ask for in a Xoloitzcuintle

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Xoloitzcuintle on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No Xoloitzcuintle breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
