Right now I'm just browsing... so disclaimer is that I am NOT getting another dog ANY time soon.
At some point I would like to get another dog, either when one of mine passes on or if we wind up in a situation where I feel we can handle a 4th dog, i.e own our own home and if I feel I'm at a point in training with my current dogs and am willing to add another.
I'm sort of back and forth on a few different breeds and trying to narrow it down to what I really want. There's a part of me that wants another herding breed (either a smooth coat BC or kelpie).... part of me would like another Ibizan, but a bigger part of me really wants to add a Xolo (prefer hairless, but open to coated as well). Each breed would serve to be a great fit for different interests I have (dog sports, etc), but I have plenty of time to decide which is the best fit for what I'm wanting when I'm ready for another dog.
I found only 5 or 6 Xolo breeders in the US and of those only a couple have websites that I can find. The others just have email addresses. I'd really like a miniature or standard if I was to actually pursue one (do not want a toy at all and prefer a dog between 16-20 inches or so in height) .
Since there are so few breeders in the US I'm considering the possibility of importing one from a breeder in Mexico if I happen to find the right breeder once I'm actually ready to pursue one.
Anyone know of breeders the would recommend me look more into??? The only "importing" experience I have is from when I got Cricket from RD when she was living in Mexico so I have no idea how importing usually works? If I chose to import I wouldn't mind taking a trip to Mexico to pick up my puppy as well.
