Does anyone know of a breeder in or close to (Vancouver) BC? Please advise the contact information.

I am try to find a Xolo breeder somewhat near to Toronto Ontario any info would be greatly appreciated (will drive to the U.S.)
I have been looking for quite some time.
thank you,
Tony
My Xolo, Nina, was 7 months old when we got her, we have had her for 2 months. She very quickly bonded with me, but has yet to bond with anyone else in the family. They all think that I baby her (which is probably true). However, my husband has tried to take her out and when he went to put the leash on her, she bit him. If I put the sweater and leash on her, he can take her out. My son can get her sweater and leash on her and take her out but he has to corner her to get her out, he is the one who takes her out in the middle of the day for me. I ask her if she needs to go out and she'll follow me to the door.
I don't understand why she won't bond with the family - she only wants me. Any ideas of what we can do to get her to look to others for attention, food, etc?
FYI- Nina is completely house broken when we are paying attention to her. She is being spayed next week. Nina loves her toys and treats - but again, only wants them from me.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Dawn
If i'm leaving in Canada and I want to rescue a xolo from the xoloitcuintle rescue league, how does it work with the immigration? Do I need a permit to bring back the dog? Do you know any easier way to adopt a xolo if i'm in Quebec, Canada?
not too much involved with bringing your dog into canada. Customs will ask for the medical reports to ensure the dog is up to date with all required vaccinations and you will also need a copy of the receipt for the payment you made to the rescue league because sometimes, depending on the customs officer, they will make you pay duty or whatever the fee is called. If you dont have a receipt, they will give you a bit of a hassle.
how much are these dogs sold for? are they only found in Mexico? would they survive in Canada? (cooler climates)
You can go to a breeder and pay a couple of thousand - there is a breeder in BC - or you can adopt a xolo in need of a home from the xoloitcuintle rescue league. the adoption fee is approximately $500 US
I live just west of Toronto with my Xolo. He wears nice warm clothing when it is cold and becomes an 'indoor' dog on extremely cold days during the winter months.
Yes, they can survive in Canada. My dog Macy wears a child's size 3 turtle neck all winter and boots to go outside. This breed has an exceptional personality - ours was hand raised as her mother (Maya) died during labour and she is a little spoiled.
