I post Tinker's size all the time because it's her size that makes her so unhealthy...and she was bred this size ON PURPOSE.:yikes:
Oh, and she's 1.5 lbs. (approx) and has MANY health problems directly related to her size. Her jaw, both top and bottom were broken by her own teeth. Tinker now has 4 teeth and a hanging jaw, 2 teeth on each side, very back, top and bottom.
Her little body is all out of whack, knees, hips, elbows....
Don't get me wrong, she's a little pistol but when we closed her breeder down, there were many just like her...all registered as this woman was well known in the show community.
Tinker is 10 years old now and her inside parts seem to be much healthier (so far) than her teeny little carcas.
Tia, my normal sized Chi, is now just about 18 years old and while she is in heart failure, she's been so much healthier than Tinker largely due to her size.
And....*drum roll*, neither are 'yappy', both have been house trained since very young pups AND neither speaks spanish....though that WOULD be cool.
