CH Nala

AKC CH Yatzil (Arena) Mexico

I decided I wanted to be more serious about wanting to competitively show a Xolo. I began to learn more about the breed standard. Sought out a mentor. Went to the 2023 National and learned what I liked and what I did not.

In December of 2023 I decided to just go for it and import Nala from Mexico. She had many of the same dogs in her pedigree that Tolo had. I was specifically looking for the same beauty and temperament that endeared him to all of our family and friends. I had been following Nala’s breeder on social media for a couple years.

Nala came to the USA at 8 weeks of age in January of 2024. By 7 months of age, she has earned 12 of her 15 required AKC Points towards her Championship including one major.

Nala is a natural and we have gotten many compliments about her. Best of all, she is very social and warms up to new people quickly. That is not characteristic of the breed as a whole, but a quality we prefer. Her sire is also said to be a very friendly Xolo.

Wow! This girl just keeps surprising us! On Sept 21st, 2024 at the Xoloitzcuintli of America National dog show where Nala took Reserve WB. The entry was big enough it awarded her the last major win she needed and last required points for her AKC Championship at only 10 months old!

The following weekend she went on to go Best of Breed both days receiving a 4pt and 5pt major towards her Grand Championship. We also were awarded a NOSH Non-Sporting Group 1. She had the opportunity to do a FastCat fun run and she LOVED it, so that is another title we plan to pursue in the future.
