Wow, he's so much smaller than the others isn't he? I know some runts turn out to be larger than their siblings as adults, but he's so much smaller that I would be afraid of some health risk, such as liver shunt. While I don't think people should purposely breed for chocolates, they are adorable, and need good homes too. I do think you are taking more of a risk when buying a runt and hopefully you can get insurance for it or have a savings account just in case. I haven't read of any health concerns associated with the chocolate. By the way, it is very possible for the pups to have have different fathers, but just because it's a chocolate, it doesn't mean that it has a different father. At that age, I think their hair is very short.
