Wazzat Xolo

I am on a great FB group LINKY very good advice and ideas

That's great news, as with everything you are guided and do your own research the q and A is just the basics, if that comes out as you like, one goes from there, I have many steps as I am a known Fuss pot ( and make no apologies for it!) but I find if people cant be bothered filling them in, that's enough to say they cant be bothered with the work I expect to be put into dogs I place. Good Luck with your venture.

You are welcome to look at my questions on my web site www.xoloaus.com I ask all to fill in as not everyone is suited for a rare primitive breed, those that cant be bothered, are definitely not suited.

I just received a great email this am, with house photos and a great filled in questionnaire, if you love a breed and want to promote the good aspects I don't think you can ever waste time, a bit will sink in .

I direct people to my web page for info ask them to research the breed and if interested fill in a Puppy Questionaire, if people cant be bothered doing these basics, then they sure as hell are not having one of my dogs! It sifts the wheat from the chaff I have found .

I use Debbie at Scandi Pets, I am sure she would answer any questions for you. Bringing your dog to Norway from a non-EU country: Requirements for pet travel are slightly stricter. Like travelers from the EU, you should also get your dog a pet passport if at all possible or have your vet complete the Veterinary Certificate (.doc). In addition, you will also need a Third Country Certificate available from the EU Food Safety Department or the Norwegian Department of Agriculture. Taking your dog to Norway from a non-EU country requires the dog (or cat) to be vaccinated for rabies, antibody-tested by an EU-approved lab, and be treated for tapeworm before traveling to Norway. You must notify the Norwegian District Office about the time and place of arrival at least 48 hours prior

aint that the truth! Thanks for sharing!! Vindictive people are everywhere, really they should volunteer for charity with all that time they have!

thank you Sway

Purdie when you find a breed you like, ask the breeder if you can send a t Shirt to them to be with the dog you are considering, then when you get it back wear it and see if you react, I have found this to work very well with anyone wanting to test.

that's exactly right and most people fail to see NO non shedding dogs! People need to test what they are allergic to before accusing a breed or even a dog, one dog is not the same as the next even if the same breed.

all dogs shed, even my hairless, they shed dander, it would depend on what each and EVERY individual is allergic to in each and every case with each and every dog! I have had many people test my dogs and they are still allegic reactions that happen. Also hairless dogs are very dirty and need grooming/scrubbing every second day and a lot of skin maintenance, of course you don't have to, but mine are and kept in good condition like our own skin. Also due to the care of the skin the olis carry sand and dirt into the house, so maybe no hair, ut plenty of dirt! Just had to add as most people assume differently. No such thing as a totally non shedding dog! Everything living sheds!

Would love chinese cresteds and pomeranians please :) Dont worry about the Xolos lolololololololol!!

who will be there Sunday the 31st march this year ? I will be there with the Xoloitzcuintle. we will also be there Tuesday for the breed stall day.

I am very PROUD, Mak is a fantastic person, all the Juniors that handle the dogs are just lovely. I am grateful to them all for putting the breed on the map. I was very happy last night, if we never win again, thats fine, I have experienced the thrill of knowing we did our very best and i know they looked great!

Makaela the Junior handler representing Australia at CRUFTS won RU BIS with the XOLOITZCUINTLE, Ch Besitos Naca (Hoover) IMP USA, I have a little clip, because its not often we win, and I have to keep checking that its real!

Have to add our lovely result for the XOLOITZCUINTLE Ch Besitos Naca (Hoover) IMP USA went Group 1, and then RU BIS at the DogsWest Wesren Classic in WA, handled by Makaela Edmonston who leaves to represent Australia at CRUFTS in two days. What a nice result for a rare breed. the win PROOF!! click here

Thanks Showdog, what day/s are you on ? I only know jacqui A and i guess sally B will be there too

Any WA people ( that I like) going to the Sydney Royal Show end of March ??????

I am looking forward to the replies, I am interested to learn more from this. I can only speak from discharge at day 39 and we lost everything, good luck, for the next few days and may you have a healthy litter .

Nick email me I can explain it to you, its under the Dog Act 1976 and its the Local Council that declares it under the legislation, its not easy either.

Wow that is amazing in these temperatures - lucky dog and lucky owner :-) Returned in dubious circumstances with change of collar and not hungry but hey!! - awesome outcome. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yes, the plot thickens! lol

I just bought a water fan for the dogs, works great a light spray of water or none, whatever you prefer, keeps the whole area cool.

Thanks Showdog, the joys of having an X breed we dont have to get there till 9.30 ish lol, the not so joys of having the only ones, having to wait for group!

Ahhh the Dog World, the only place where everyone knows everyone elses business and WHAT everyone else should do!! Just love it!! Its a shame as there was some very good information in the thread, before it got all bent out of shape and nasty, what one has come to expect in the Dog World, sadly.

Exactly. OP, be very wary of veterinary 'minimal risk' quiffs. It's all stats and figures until its your dog and your dilemma ... and by then veterinary repro theory has moved on, and your dilemma is a shrug shoulders "oh we have advanced a lot since then ... we now recommend ..." EXACTLY. they dont even take responsibility when a vaccination batch is faulty, not that they are at fault, but I know from devestating experience when 7 out of nine died overnight, 8th died that afternoon, the bills for saving the 9th he asked could he keep her as he had become so attached during the weeks she (literally) lived in his pocket on a drip. No doubting his dedication to saving her. Not a word was said about compensation let alone return of the vaccination fee I paid to keep them safe. not kill them outright. only learned months later that batch killed 600 before manufacturer recalled that batch. my friend worked there and spotted the recall, gave me the batch mumber and it tallied with the stickers on my cards. I have since learnt the vaccination companies rarely tell the vets why theres a recall so they dont have to compensate the owners..nice eh? as for the vets who will do every test and check knowing the patient has less than 10percent chance of recovery , yet only tells the owner,we will do our best to save him/her, not a hint there is 90 percent that death is going to happen. then pat the mug shelling out thousands for the great efforts made to 'save' their pet. So sorry, we did our best, some times these things happen. Nice fat invoice though and the owner never knew the real odds. only recently were quoted "$3,000 for the necessary needed intensive care, or wont survive",thats not counting all the scans and examination costs alrready done, a family friend with medical experience looked at the scans and asked, whats the odds of recovery, after a bit of thought the reply? Ten percent. The pet already had lived 1/3 longer than the breed average. vets these days are not trained to tell you the practical. They are trained to do all they can regardless of the cost or the low possibility of a successful outcome. Some only prolong life for another few weeks. As one more honest vet said to me, over my unconsious cat with impacted bowel. "I can ream her out for you for $700 but that isnt removing whater is the root cause. Chances are you will be back in two weeks for the same op. Her body is shutting down and I feel her day has arrived." She was 18. She had arrived as an adult all those years ago. We later learnt her real age was 20. so the old girl had a good innings. I was so grateful to that vet for telling me the truth. Most today do not, they are taught to prolong whatever the costs. Pet owners hearts rule their head, but they should still be given ALL the facts before making the decision THANK YOU ASAL i thought it was just me that saw the ongoing ridiculous costs some people are charged, its very sad as you said hearts rule heads, just recently here in WA a dog owner paid $37.000 to fix their dog up, it was a youndg couple and all their house savings, their sisters house savings and maxed out credit cards. I know they love the pooch, but I must admit I really felt for them.
