Default puppy

Relax, this is not the end of the world. Alot depends on the size..many vets say if it is no bigger then the diameter of a pencil it is not a serious problem. Many close by 6 months, some a year..some never. I had a tiny girl who lived to be 14 yrs old and she had a small one all her life...her sire and dam were both champions so it was not bad breeding.

Does she have any symtoms? I am not making light of this..sure, I perfer a solid head and it has been sometime since I had one with an open fontanel..but if I got one tomorrow I would not be concerned if it was small and the pup had no signs of water on the brain or any other problems..most close anwyay.
