I must first say I love all the information I get from this group! I
have a 2 1/2 year old Chi named Roxie. She is the princess of our house
seeing as she is the only dog and the only girl besides me! My reason
for posting is I have a strange question. When we purchased her she was
the only girl in a litter of boys and the boys were all tan Taco Bell
looking Chihuahuas. She is black with tan markings kind of like a
rottie. We picked her out paid for her and then a couple weeks later we
picked her up. After we had gotten home I noticed that the tip of her
tail was broken. About the last 1/2 inch of her tail bends in a crazy
way. When I took her to the vet for her checkup and shots the vet
checked it out and said there were no problems with it, it didn't hurt
her and shouldn't be a problem. We will never show her and it only
makes her more endering to us so that was never an issue. I really
hadn't thought about it until recently my brother got a beautiful little
girl Chi and her tail is exactly the same way! He had asked the breeder
he got her from and they didn't know of any accidents she had had. So
my question after that long round about way is, could this be something
that is genetic? The two are in no way related mine was purchased in
Louisiana and my brothers in Colorado but the brakes are exactly the
same!
Anyway here are some pictures of my princess! Christmas last year and a
couple of years ago she was only a few months old in the second picture.
If you look closely in the second picture you can kind of see the break
in the tip of her tail. Thanks in advanced for any help. Like I said I
have learned a whole lot from you guys and enjoy reading all the posts!
