OzTerrier 21 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Nice dogs mate, they identical to our Australian Mini Foxie's. Similar to a JRT but smaller bone structure, height, head ect. Great little terrier though full of energy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonce 3 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Nothing wrong with the runt of the litter,my whippet was the runt and she's a cracking little dog, same goes for her mom and she was a crazy worker, she was retired early for her own safety as was to headstrong and would never come back without the rabbit regardless of what she had to smash through to get it lol go for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squab 2,875 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Runts often have domed heads, wider apart eyes than usual, or bug eyed. Their legs may be very lacking in bone too, and they are usually only half the size of the rest of the litter. Big difference between a small pup but normally formed pup and a true runt, as bunnys said. I've tried to rear true runts, and they often have something internally wrong with them too: dodgy digestive system or heart. Not worth the risk if it is a true runt. like i said i wouldnt choose the runt myself,had a bitch myself years ago last of the litter so never got to see the rest but she was small from day one truth be known,had her put down 2 year later serious heart murmour,yes plenty good luck storys it seems bringing on a runt just not for me if id the choice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wi11ow 2,657 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 she was the runt I allways pick the runt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I've found the smallest has a lot of fire and the biggest is chilled out. I had a staff that was literally twice the size of all it's litter mates,most chilled out dog I've known. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
