Xolos were also some of the first breeds to be registered by the AKC. This dog breed has 3 sizes from miniature to intermediate and standard. There are two varieties of the breed, hairless and coated. A spontaneous mutation many thousands years ago led to this dominant hairless trait in this breed. Xolos with coats are a recessive type, so the breeding of hairless with coated Xolos can bear pups of either variety. Xolo has wrinkles, dental anomalies, and a primitive temperament. Adult Xolo dogs are typically characterized by their calm demeanor. However, puppy dogs can be very energetic, vocal and noisy. But they stop barking as much and often become calmer when they reach maturity at around two years of age.
