I like to weigh my babies each week, take time to let them be a baby. You can't really tell a thing about what they will look like any way. If I would place a deposit on the smallest, it would probably die, Momma could lay on it, or it may turn out the biggest of the litter. Just isn't a good policy. Besides there is such a danger of the smallest one not being the healthy one, then somone could get up set, and disappointed.

I had no idea. This is crazy. What should I do? I haven't yet put a deposit, but am wondering when I would be sure? Not that I would completely reject the puppy because he's the runt. But I'm not getting a lot of good feedback overall.
