In reference to tinies: I see a few sites that advertise they do not breed for tiny ones but sometimes do have an occasional tiny. This statement scares me to death! Especially when you see the puppy and the whites of its eyes are prominent. They may not breed for tinies, but are these occasional ones actually "runt of the litter"? Which spells problems in some cases.
I know where a lot of runts have actually turned out to be the biggest when full grown so you have to look at more than just that. What you mentioned was a great example. When you can see the white in the inside corners of their eyes, this is most likely hydrocephalus A very horrible condition with poor prognosis.
