This incredibly handsome Xolo (Mexican Hairless Dog) is not only gorgeous but has an incredibly winning personality as well.  Aztec came to us from a shelter, where he was surrendered by his owners who could no longer care for him.  Aztec is considered a mini Xolo, weighing in at about 14 lbs, but should put on a bit of weight.  He is about 3 years old and in great health.  Aztec loves everyone and most dogs as well.  He gets particularly excited when he sees children and can't seem to hold himself back - he doesn't have much training so tends to want to jump on them and lick.  He is very playful, and pretty energetic.  He is also a talker - loves to be stroked and lets you know that he loves it.  If you know the breed and are interested in adopting this unusual companion you won't be sorry.  We would prefer someone with breed experience or who has done enough research on the breed to know they might want to explore adoption.  Xolos do require particular skin care, sunscreen and sweaters during the winter months.  We would also prefer a home with someone who is home most of the time but yet has enough energy to walk or hike each day as well as frequent play sessions.  A home with dog savvy kids would be great as well.  We are willing to wait for the just the right match.
