Xoloitzcuintli puppy growth: milestones and weight estimates
How fast a Xoloitzcuintli puppy grows, illustrative weight estimates and the limits of predicting adult size.
Growth speed depends on size. Toys reach adult size at around 9 to 10 months, standards at about 12 to 14 months, and all three keep filling out for a while afterward. Hairless puppies are often born with a light fuzz on the body that falls away, and their skin usually darkens noticeably by adulthood, especially with sun exposure.
Adolescence is when Xolos test limits, and they are clever climbers and jumpers. Keep socializing with many kinds of people through this stage, since a Xolo that meets few strangers in its first year can become very wary. Teenage skin often breaks out in blackheads and spots much like human acne; gentle cleaning and patience usually help, and a vet should look at any spots that become swollen, hot or weepy.
