New to the forums :)

HI all, heres my story

Im nearly 25, and have been a dog lover all my life.
My twin sister and I grew up under the wing of our parents extremely loving Doberman (im sure he thought we were his pups!) and have since shown and helped out at field trials/working tests with our fathers GSP's. I started showing years ago when I was about 12 with my dads first GSP Saphire by competing in junior handling, and progressed from there to handling my Boston terrier dog to show champion status in my mid teens. I very much enjoy showing and meeting new people through it.
In my adult life I finally obtained the dog of my dreams, a standard hairless Xoloitzcuintle (my lovely boy Vodou) and even designed the club logo for the uk mexican hairless club. (yes i know the name is misleading but its all the kennel club would allow the club to use!)
unfortunately Vodous ears are soft so he cant be shown in he ring, but id love to take up either agility or flyball with him as hes fast and very intelligent. Im hoping to ind local classes for this soon

basically im here to make more doggy friends, you can never have too many dog lovers in your life! ^^

Hello and Welcome to Dogsey
I've not been a member long but I really enjoy it here and hope you will too.
I'd love to see some photos of your Xolo, I don't think I have ever had the pleasure of meeting one irl.

everybody here seems really friendly, im enjoying it so far and thank you very much for the welcome

heres a couple of pics of my Xolo, one from when he was tiny, one from when he was around five months old, and one taken last month





His ears have gone through a lot of different styles as he's grown! XD

Awwwwww
What a cutie! He looks quite big. What size are they?

Hes an absolute sweetheart

Vodou is a standard, so hes about knee height, im hoping hes stopped growing in all honesty as he is pretty big for a standard xolo! They come in intermediate and miniture sizes too but I personally prefer the standards... i love them all but for me it had to be a standard

Hi and welcome aboard

Hi Stacey and welcome to you and your gorgeous dog Vodou ...... I have never seen a standard Xolo before but I think I'm in love

Do you have to protect his skin from the sun, heat, cold etc? Can you still stroke him as normal or do you have to be careful not to 'chaff' his skin? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just curious.
