Heavens No!.....Not in Yorkie litters anyway. In The past I outcross breed so the puppy sizes vary greatly.
Runts to me are failure to thrive puppies. They do okay or NOT the first few days maybe, then they do not gain weight. They may lay on their side quite a bit or they cry alot. They are not content.
Runts are unhealthy to me. I no longer help them live. My experience is they have serious problems and I do try to save them anymore.
I give them minimal help. If they are strong they live, if they are weak they die.
Sounds horrible I know. But This is my practice.
