I have a Bella too and she was also the runt. Literally half the size of her siblings. Under 1 pound at 2 months. The breeder and Vet told me she will be under 3 pounds for sure, probably even smaller. Well now she's over 5 pounds. Oh yea and she's a very healthy dog. Very independent and sassy. Even as a tiny pup, she had quite a personality.

So being the runt of the littler does not mean they won't be healthy or will be too small. Bella was 3 months when we got her so it was obvious that she wouldn't be too small and she was very healthy. If the pup appears healthy and not too small or fragile I'd go for it.  Congratulations on your new baby!  |
