I'm the breeder behind Junkyard Xolos located in Tecumseh, OK. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION. We enjoy showing our dogs in conformation, and they are our companions in every adventure. We are passionate about preserving and protecting this incredible historic breed. Our program is dedicated to only breeding dogs that we know are exemplary representations of the standard and will make a positive contribution to their line and to the families who love them. Xolos are a primitive breed and they are not a good fit for everyone. Please research as much as you can before deciding on this breed. We would like our puppies/dogs to achieve their AKC championship if possible and will be happy to mentor owners in the show ring or show the dogs ourselves. We will require new owners to locate and attend some sort of puppy socialization/training program after they go home. Part of our long term commitment to this breed requires us to stay in contact with all of our puppy owners to document temperament, health, and other updates. This remains for the entire life of the dog. We feed our dogs a raw diet and will encourage any dog owner who can to feed raw as well. Keeping in mind that to do this properly takes much research and acquired knowledge.
