…and here is a photo of me with Tecuhtli. She is a Multi-Ch. & World Ch. and mother of World Champions. The Specialties were held indoors in a beautiful room and decorated with bright paper flowers and a
Mexican theme. The show theme was “The Xolo is a living work of art.” We had wonderful judges, very thorough and very professional, from both the US and Mexico. I will set up a page for the specialties and post photos as they are sent to me.
..and this photo is of me with QuiQui, judging is Dr. Arozamena from Mexico. QuiQui is an intermediate female and she had never been off the farm before. I am only allowed in the ring to show in the ‘bred by’ class.
Professional handlers need not feel threatened by my participation.

Dear Xolo Family, I have added a page entitled “Excellent Articles ” and it will feature articles by Xolo Friends who share information that I think you would enjoy reading.

This messsage came from Barbara Griffin today:…..”Here are Quixote’s pictures from this weekend. Getting his NAJ his first weekend in AKC is a thrill and a dream come true. Okay, so he does look like an alien. He’s a fast and accurate one! ”
Quixote is the second Xoloitzcuintle to earn an American Kennel Club agility title. WAY TO GO, Quixote!!!!!
The young Xolo standard named “Kato” Zempasuchil won 2 reserve BIS in a UKC show this weekend. Lets see how the shows go for the next two days. (whoops, I made a mistake when I posted the first time. I thought it was a CKC show. sorry.)
..held in Vancouver, WA. at the Red Lion at the Quay on October 20 and 21st. XCUSA will welcome four highly respected judges, 2 from Mexico City and 2 from Oregon State in the US. Go to the XCUSA website: www.xoloworld.com to learn more about how you can begin preparing to attend a wonderful Xolo Specialty.
…her first camping trip, birdwatching and crawfishing in Alabama. And, we do LOVE her dearly!
“Want to brag just a bit (OK, alot). Teotihuacan - Stdrd. took two Group 1 and a Group 2 at the Lethbridge, Alberta shows, Coaba (mini) took two BOB, and Bachi (mini male-9 months) took 3 more points which leaves him only 2 points to finish his Canadian CH in two shows. Just need to tack his feet to the ground!”
WAY TO GO, JO, whip those old farm dogs into shape!!!!!!
“I’m proud to announce our newest Canadian Champion. At 12 months and 2 days old, “Kato” - (formally known as Zempasuchil) became a Canadian Champion. Kato finished entirely with group placements over many CKC Multi BIS, Top 10 Group dogs, along with winning several Best Puppy In Group wins along the way.
Kato is owned/trained/handled by myself, and co-owned/bred by Patty Hoover, of Besito Xolos, who we thank greatly for sharing such a wonderful boy with us.
Kato’s webpage can be seen here; http://www.trojanrottweilers.com/zempasuchil.htm
Also along the way, Kato, with the help of his best Junior Handler friend, Vicki, went Best Overall Junior handler.”
WELL DONE, DEBBIE AND VICKI AND “KATO!”

BINIDXABA was a product of a cooperative effort between Patty Hoover in the US and Victor Alvarez in Mexico. We brought together our two best bloodlines, with a breeding of Citlali (Premio Real) Mex.FCI. and Denne (Bautista) Mex.FCI. We only wish that Lascelles de Premio Real and Señor Bautista could have been here to enjoy this win. This would have been a fiesta for them because during their lifetimes they worked very hard for the breed but neither had ever earned a Best In Show. We honor those two great people.
