Pepe, the Xoloitzcuintli

Mr. Macho

 

Photos from 1998

This is my hairless Xoloitzcuintli Pepe. He was rescued from the shelter inPepe 1992 and we adopted him from a dog rescue person. Pepe is barely a standard size Xolo standing about 18" tall and weighing around 30 pounds. We do not know his exact age, he could be anywhere from seven to ten years old, or even older (today in 1998). He has some gray hair under his muzzle, but he is still very playful. Pepe can be quite a troublemaker sometimes, but he is also so loving, devoted, eager to please, and obedient most of the time. He is very intelligent and has sooo much personality!

Pepe is the alpha dog of my dogs. My Xolos have occasional squabbles over the  leadership, but so far Pepe has always been the clear leader. Sweet Lucy (AHT) and Pepe are best friends and like to play with each other. Pepe is very patient with Lucy and lets her steal any toy from him.

Photos from 2004

Here are two new pictures of my beloved Xolo Pepe. He is now 15+ years old. His hair, what little he has, is getting very gray. In these photos he looks less gray than he actually is. He has an age related problem with his left hip, and he cannot take walks anymore. However, glucosamine supplements from the vet help him a lot, and he can run around the house and in the backyard. He can jump on and off the sofa easily as long as he keeps taking his glucosamine. Pepe's hearing and sight are not as keen as they used to be, and his heart is weakening, but he's managing just fine. He is still very spunky, and he has retained the alpha position among my dogs. Sweet Lucy continues to be his favorite pal, and he's very gentle with her.
