My Archie was the runt -- but he's also a classic alpha pup! He was the most inquisitive and feisty of the three babies (all boys) in his litter and he just stole my heart immediately. He has grown into a beautiful, well-socialized and lively little man (all 4.2 pounds of him at 15 months), and I wouldn't trade him for the world. We DID have a lot of health problems in the beginning -- two hypoglycemic attacks and one case of pancreatitis -- and even now his digestive/gastro system is delicate, but easily controled with a carefuld diet.
I've always had a soft spot for the runt -- this is the second little shrimp I've had -- so I'd say, if your heart is with the tiny one -- go for it!
