Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I purchased a Chihuahua puppy from Kirk Newton and Tiny Town Texas after Kirk PROMISED me that my puppy would be a Show Quality dog and would have no defects and would weigh four pounds or less (the weight is not important to me though). After paying $1600 for the puppy, 5 months later after I received the dog I noticed she had an extreme underbite that was causing bleeding to her gums. She also had two very splayed out front feet so that she walked like a seal. She also weighed almost six pounds. Additionally she has luxating patellas and a collapsed trachea.

My veterinarian said this breeder is just another example of unscupulous breeding practices and I made an appointment to have the pup spayed. When she went in for her spay, they drew blood from her and she would not stop bleeding. Turns out she also has Von Willebrands Disease which is a rare GENETIC blood disorder where the dog's blood won't clot. Now she needs a blood tranfusion just to be spayed.

Kirk is in serious denial about the quality of dogs/puppies he produces. He is a mass breeder and uses breeding as his sole source of income. He states that all of his dogs are "show quality" etc. when in reality they are a walking genetic disaster area. Kirk is rude, pretentious and arrogant and refuses to give me any of my money back for this puppy. He is a liar and will say ANYTHING to make a sale on a living breathing animal that cannot help that it has genetic deficits.

I sent Kirk documentation regarding all of these problems and he says he has NEVER had one complaint about any of his puppies, so he does not believe me. That, in itself is a bald faced lie. I contacted approximately eight respected Chihuahua breeders in Texas that all know who Kirk Newton and Tiny Town Texas are. The opinion of the masses was that he is a scam artist that soley has his own interests in mind and does not care about the quality of pups he produces....he is in it for the almighty dollar alone.

Kirk told me he has been a Chihuahua breeder for over 30 years....another lie. He has only been breeding for a few years at best and before that he was an UPHOLSTERY REPAIRMAN. He also states clearly on his site that he ONLY breeds Chihuahuas; however, that is quite obviously another lie because he also breeds Brussels Griffons, BrussChis, AND Maltese.

Kirk is rude in his emails and denies any negligence of Breeding. His #1 stud dog "Kodiak" is NOT a Champion at all like Kirk states he is. He told me my puppy was Champion Sired and she is NOT because her father was Kodiak and he is not a Champion.....so I have no idea where Kirk makes things up like this.

This whole situation has me so frustrated and out a lot of money in vet bills. Please do yourself a favor and do not even THINK about buying a dog from this evil man. He is a con artist and will say anything to make you buy a dog. He is basically running a puppymill and does not care at all for the welfare of the dogs or the heartache of potential owners because of his unethical breeding standards. I was completely polite and nice to him until he turned into a nasty nasty person that cannot accept any of his wrongdoings. I am done with Tiny Town Texas and Kirk Newton, he belongs in a dark place. I don't know how he sleeps at night.

PUPPY BREEDERS BEWARE OF KRISTIE MARTIN

#2REBUTTAL Owner of company

Sun, June 08, 2008

We sold a great lil puppy to KRISTIE MARTIN IN BRENTWOOD CA. She sent several e-mails telling us how great this lil girl was. After about 4 months she sent an e-mail stating that the puppy was developing a slight underbite. We informed her to send the vet reports for us to see. We never received the report but instead she sent another e-mail saying her vet in december 07 stated the puppy not only had an underbite but splayed front legs, luxating patellas, a breathing disorder and some strange blood disorder and she wanted money back on the puppy. We asked again for the vet reports and that we would replace the puppy if these things were really wrong with her. About 2 months later we received a vet report that only showed a very slight underbite but no mention of anything else. We still offered to replace the puppy but for some reason she wanted to keep her and still receive money back. We personally called her vet and she stated that she didn't see the puppy until feb. 08 about her having problems . Kristie martin stated that the vet found all these things in dec. 07 but the vet sent me the complete vet reports and in feb. 08 Kristie tried to get them to look for whatever they could find wrong with her. they couldn't find anything but a very healthy puppy with a slight underbite that may correct with age. After we questioned Kristie about why she lied about the vet reports and that we spoke to her vet, she sent a very nasty, abusive e-mail with words that a person in their right mind would never say. All she wanted was money and keep the puppy. We received our first chihuahua [ Dolly ] in 1960 and fell inlove with this breed. we did start breeding in 1970 with a different breed but soon after started back breeding only chihuahuas. we now breed 2 other toy breeds along with the chihuahuas. Our TINY TOWN TEXAS business is not a puppymill and we won't sell to pet stores. We raise very good quality puppies and have a very good reputation, which we would be glad to give names and phone numbers to anyone questioning our validity. Evidently KRISTIE MARTIN has tried this before by the way she tried manipulating the timeframes and vet reports, but when we actually talked to her vet and received the correct reports she knew that she had been caught in these lies. She told us to just forget about any resolution and that she wanted to keep the puppy, but her cursing and slanderous e-mail proved to us that she was just trying to scam us. We at TINY TOWN TEXAS hope you never get the chance to send a puppy to this lady because you may get SCAMMED as we almost did.
