The Xoloitzcuintle (Mexican Hairless) Miniature is classified by The Royal Kennel Club within the smaller ageing band, typically weighing 4–6.8 kg as an adult. The smallest of the breed's three official sizes, the Miniature Xoloitzcuintle carries the same ancient pre-Columbian heritage and, in its hairless form, the same warm, smooth skin that made the breed valued for centuries as a companion.

What this means for your Xoloitzcuintle (Miniature)

Skin protection from sun and cold is a particular consideration for hairless individuals, alongside dental issues that are more common in hairless lines. The breed is otherwise generally considered hardy, having developed largely through natural selection over centuries.

Sun cream formulated for dogs and a coat for cold weather can help protect a hairless Xoloitzcuintle's skin, which lacks the natural protection a coat would normally provide.

When is a Xoloitzcuintle (Miniature) considered a senior?

Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, small breeds like the Xoloitzcuintle (Miniature) are generally considered senior from around 10 dog years old.
