Kirk and Tracy Newton of Tiny Town Texas Kennels sold me two chihuahua puppies in March. They are both 1 1/2 years old.
The male was diagnosed with a thyroid condition 6 months after purchasing him. The dog lost ALL his hair and began to show freckle pigmentation. Kirk told us that he was just shedding his puppy coat.
Our vet and Kirk's vet, also diagnosed him with a thyroid condition and he will have to take medication every day for the rest of his life. Kirk did offer us a new dog and/or another new puppy. After 6 months of owning a dog, he knew that we weren't going to give him up! What a hollow offer. Who would trust him enough to take another puppy?
Our female dog coughs... Her x-ray shows a deformed trachae. She began to limp last week and has been diagnosed with patella luxation and will need surgery in both legs. The x-ray says it all, as I mentioned to Kirk. Our male needs surgery in his knees, also.
Kirk told me that other sold puppies from the same dam are also experiencing patella luxation. When I wrote him about about all of this he replied with "I will give you 2 more puppies. Free" Please BEWARE of TINY TOWN TEXAS
