I agree with Debbie/Glencorgi who doesn't like the word 'runt' mainly because it is deogratory term on one hand and very often untrue on the other. I chose the 'runt' of the litter when I had first choice and the one I chose turned out to be the only champion in the show ring though two of the other male dogs were also participants at shows. Of course, My Ricky was no runt. He was in fact quite a big size - only that the other males were bigger still.

Bonnie- You may not accept evolution but it is happening in almost every breed among the 332 or so recognised breeds of dogs. As i have previously said, just compare today's Corgis with those of the 1930s and 1960s.
