Happy First Birthday to our Winter Wonderland Litter! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳

I am so thrilled to know you're all doing well and thriving in your homes! I can't wait to share with the world what you've all been up to. 💕 I am so proud of the amazing little dogs these guys are turning into. I think they're all spectacular but I'm biased. 😍

Krampy, Haly Tinsel, Maya, Simon, Banjo, and Velma. I love you all so very much.

Our sweet final girl Tinsel from our very first breeding went to her new home today. 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Her Dad flew in from NYC to get her. She's off to be a city girl! I am so thrilled that I have been able to find such loving wonderful homes for all of my puppies. She will have a big sister Xolo and be so spoiled! I can't wait to share updates with everyone! 💕

We have decided to start helping people get access to our favorite brand of food! I will now be a local distributor for Inukshuk dog food! My prices are lower than chewy or any other websites you can find it. 😄

I have fed both the Marine and Chicken formulas in my home!

We've been MIA lately, but for good reason - we've been out and about with the dogs, including our first national show with the Xolo Club of America on the 21st of September and a small local show where we marveled at beautiful Chihuahuas and entered Betty. Check out these fantastic candids! 🥰

Sometimes girls just want coffee and pup cups! This was a fun outing the other day with Betty! 💖

The Legend of the Butterfly Dog

In ancient times, Xoloitzcuintlis were sacrificed and buried with the newly departed. Most of the time, it was with their master, but sometimes it was a stranger to them. In any event, the dog was tied to the deceased with a red ribbon so that the dog wouldn’t get “loose” in the afterworld. The Xolo’s job was to guide the soul of his or her master through nine levels to reach Mictlan (heaven), then help him cross the Chiconahuapan, a river that was the last level before getting to Mictlan. According to the belief, the Xolo would swim across the river with the soul of the person on their back. A red dog was preferred because black ones were too “dirty,” and lighter colored dogs were too “pure,” but whatever color the dog, crossing the river with the soul of his or her master got the dog dirty from the water.

Once the pair reached heaven, they met Mictlantecuhtli, lord of the underworld. Mictlantecuhtli always asked the Xolo if s/he wanted to stay in heaven or return to earth. Some dogs decided to stay with their beloved master in heaven, but dogs who had been sacrificed for someone they didn’t know had no particular loyalty to them, and chose to go back to earth. In order to return to earth, however, they had to cross the river one more time.

Instead of making the dogs dirty the second time they crossed the river, the water cleansed them. These dogs returned with white marks on their legs, chests, tail, and sometimes face because that’s where the water splashed them the most. Back on earth, everybody knew that a Xolo marked this way had returned to earth from the underworld. Now, when you see a butterfly Xolo, you know that the dog is a blessing sent directly from heaven.

We thank Giovanna Suedan for the wonderful telling of this story, and aslo mention that according to the breed's AKC standard, a dark, uniform color is preferred, ranging from black, gray black, slate, to red, liver or bronze, but white spots and markings are permitted.

Okay last but not least is baby Tinsel. Happy 6 months sweet baby! Tinsel is a happy bouncy ball of sunshine. Tinsel loves to snuggle on the couch or play outside with her people. She is our final remaining baby who has not found her own tribe. She has an incredible handler focus, food and toy drive. She would make an excellent starter dog for someone interested in this breed or would be an easy Xolo for someone with Xolo experience. She will be traveling with me to OKC at the end of the month if anyone wants to meet her in person. I want nothing more than to find her people. She's such an excellent dog she deserves her chance to shine. 💞💞💞💞
