The XCA is the official parent club for the breed, founded on October 26, 1986 for the purpose of regaining AKC recognition for the Xoloitzcuintli. The founding members voted unanimously to recognize all three sizes (toy, miniature and standard) and both varieties (hairless and coated) at our initial meeting. Since then, the XCA has compiled a studbook modeled on requirements for eventual AKC acceptance, held an annual independent specialty show, published a quarterly newsletter, The Xolo News, and maintained an active national rescue network. We have worked closely with AKC for two decades and AKC has maintained a comprehensive record of our club’s activities since that time. Our breed standard, constitution and by-laws have been approved and accepted by AKC. In 2000, the XCA registry was officially accepted by the Canadian Kennel Club as the American parent club for the breed. In 2005, the XCA studbook was turned over to the AKC FSS registry. At this time, XCA no longer accepts individual registrations. We encourage owners of all registerable Xolos to have their dogs registered with the AKC Foundation Stock Service. Contact AKC at www.akc.org for information regarding requirements, applications and fees.
As of January 1, 2007, FSS registered Xolos are eligible to compete in AKC performance events.
As of January 1, 2009 FSS registered Xolos are eligible to compete in AKC Miscellaneous Class.
