Upcoming Litters

Planned Litter – August 2026

We are very excited to announce a planned litter for August 2026, with timing subject to seasonal variation.

We only breed the standard size, which is the largest of the 3 sizes.
 

Dam:
Nora, Australian Champion Amasa Sweet As Bro (AI) N.SPRD SWN {NTD}
 

For this litter, we will be importing semen from Europe. The sire will be announced once pregnancy is confirmed.
 

• We will expect some puppies to have tail curls.

• We do not remove dew claws due to them being a fully functioning digit.
   

We expect both hairless and coated puppies in this litter.
 

Puppy pricing

• Hairless puppies: $2,500 AUD

• Coated puppies: $500 AUD
   

The reduced price for coated puppies does not reflect their quality in any way. It simply reflects demand.
 

All pet puppies are co-owned with us under a legally binding contract until sterilisation.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are your puppies cheaper than elsewhere?

We breed for ourselves and for the preservation of the breed, not for the market. We do not believe in charging high prices simply because people are willing to pay them. Finding the right homes is far more important to us.
 

With the current cost-of-living pressures, we do not want puppy prices to be a barrier for genuinely excellent homes.
 

The semen for this litter alone will cost approximately $12,000 AUD, and it is unlikely we will break even. Our foundation litter cost well over $20,000 AUD. Breeding is a significant financial and time investment, and we take that responsibility just as seriously as placing our puppies into the best possible homes.
 

What health testing do you do?

Our own dogs are fully health tested. This includes hips, elbows, eyes, heart, thyroid, full blood panels, DNA genetic disease testing, and temperament assessments. All documentation is available to puppy families.
 

When using external sires, including those overseas, we endeavour to match the same level of testing or as close to it as possible.
 

Do you provide a health guarantee?

No. Just as it is impossible to guarantee the lifelong health of a human baby, it is not realistic to guarantee the lifelong health of a dog.
 

What we can guarantee is that your puppy will not develop genetic diseases that we have tested for and cleared. We take health screening and thoughtful breeding extremely seriously, but nature still plays a role, as it does in humans.

We expect puppy buyers to have pet insurance in place to cover accidents, unexpected illness, or breed-related realities.

What puppy raising do you do?

We take puppy raising very seriously and take two to three months off work to raise our litters.
 

Our foundation litter received Early Scent Introduction (ESI), Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), and were raised using the Puppy Culture program.
 

For our next litter, we will be dropping ENS. As we are already extremely hands-on, adding ENS on top can be too much for some puppies.
 

We will be using a structured developmental program similar to Puppy Culture, likely as a hybrid approach, to support a well-rounded outcome.
 

Daily visitor socialisation will begin at around three to four weeks of age.
 

From around four to five weeks, weather permitting, the litter will begin spending time in an outdoor day pen. This provides carefully planned obstacles, enrichment, and appropriate challenges.

We also offer daily live videos to our Facebook group for the entire time the puppies are with us.
 

Do I need to tape my puppy’s ears?

That depends on your goals.

Pet puppies that are not intended for the show ring do not need continued ear taping. Some hairless puppies’ ears will stand naturally.
 

For hairless puppies, ear taping is usually complete by around four months of age. For coated puppies, it is often closer to five months, as they are heavier.

Taping is not painful, and no surgery is involved. The tape simply supports the developing cartilage during growth.
 

What makes a good Xolo family?

A good Xolo family is one where everyone is on the same page and committed to consistent rules and boundaries.
 

Xolos can be manipulative and pushy. Putting in the hard work during puppyhood and adolescence is rewarded with a much easier adult dog.
 

Xolos are generally not suited to novice dog owners and may be challenging for families who have only owned very easy-going, biddable breeds.

Xolo families must be committed to a high level of socialisation/exposure and puppy training.

What are your expectations of puppy buyers?

We expect puppy buyers to stay in touch with us. It is important to us to follow each puppy’s development and to support our owners through puppyhood and adolescence.
 

Do you provide ongoing support?

Absolutely. Our puppy buyers are always welcome to reach out to us for support at any stage of their dog’s life.

​

Do you take your dog back?
We will either take the dog back or help you facilitate its rehoming - whatever is in the best interests of the dog.

An untrained and unsocialised Xolo may not be able to be rehomed, so it is important that families put every effort into their dogs in case they ever have to rehome their dog.
