Thomas Terriers Joy Thomas Purchased Welsh Terrier and Irish Terrier. The Welsh was found to have congenital hip disease, required hip surgery before 6 months of age. The Welsh Terrier has terrible skin and allergy issues and is diagnosed with Atopic Dermatitis. Requires expensive medicine (Atopica) and daily paw care and it is still very difficult to control.

CHECK THIS OUT!! Educate yourself before purchasing. It is so sad that she continues to sell puppies.

APHIS inspectors found the Thomases failed to:

--maintain programs of disease control and prevention, euthanasia, and adequate veterinary care under the supervision of a veterinarian;

--develop, document and follow an appropriate plan to provide dogs with the opportunity for exercise;

--individually identify dogs;

--provide veterinary care to animals in need of care;

--provide dogs in outdoor housing facilities protection from the elements;

--construct and maintain primary dog enclosures with floors that protect the animals' feet and legs from injury;

--maintain primary dog enclosures that are structurally sound and in good repair;

--remove excreta from primary enclosures to prevent soiling of the dogs and to reduce disease hazards, insects, pests and odors;

--wait until a dog was at least 8 weeks old before delivering it to a purchaser;

--detain a puppy for five days before selling it to a purchaser;

--deliver the proper records to the purchaser of a dog; and

--deliver a health certificate to the purchaser of a dog.
