Hmmm, INTERESTING! So just because they're the runt, doesn't mean they'll stay the smallest?! Here is my question....if a pup is born on the small side because of a big litter, or a small mother....does that effect their grown weight, at all?
Also interesting that the "look at the parents" rule of thumb doesn't always apply, either. Just like in humans!
I'd like to hear more birth/grown weight comparisons!
