Benefits of having a registered Xoloitzcuintle

Registered Xoloitzcuintles: A Guarantee of Quality and Purity

Registered Xoloitzcuintles offer numerous advantages that guarantee the quality and purity of this ancient Mexican breed. The registration process for these dogs includes rigorous checks and certifications that attest to their authenticity and health.

Registration Process

Before being registered, Xoloitzcuintles undergo a meticulous checkup that includes a heart check, bite check, and testicle check. This checkup is performed by a veterinarian zootechnician endorsed by the Federación Canófila Mexicana (Mexican Canine Federation), who also inserts a microchip into the dog's neck. The microchip contains all of the dog's information and can be easily scanned. Additionally, a tattoo is placed on the dog's groin with the registration information.

Certification and Ancestry

Registration not only certifies the authenticity of the Xoloitzcuintle but also provides a detailed history of its registered ancestors. This information is vital for maintaining the purity and quality of the breed. Only puppies that meet the breed standard and are completely healthy are eligible for registration, thus ensuring the quality of the specimen.

Ownership and Competitions

Registration, or pedigree, acts as a title of ownership of the Xoloitzcuintle, including the data of the breeder and the owner. This documentation is essential for participating in beauty and conformation events at both the international and national levels, as long as the corresponding international or national pedigree is possessed.

Tracking and Bloodline

Having a registered Xoloitzcuintle allows for an accurate count of purebred dogs of this breed in Mexico and around the world. This makes it easier to know the origin of the dog and the bloodlines, providing valuable information for breeders and owners interested in maintaining and improving the breed.

In summary, registering a Xoloitzcuintle not only guarantees the authenticity and quality of the dog but also offers numerous benefits for owners, from participation in events to access to a detailed history of the animal's bloodline.
