Is the runt of a dogs litter the one who is born last or the one that is the smallest?

Yes, there are smaller babies that can be considered runts. They are just a tad smaller at birth. They may not fight enough for a teat at nursing time and thus do not grow as fast as the other babies. Make sure these little ones get alone tome with mom so they can get their fair share of the milk.

How many pups does cockapoo dogs have?
my cockapoo has had two litters and is on the third and last. the first litter was when she was 1 1/2 years old she had 4 all boys. the second litter she had 6 three girls and one boy. one puppie was born small and the other one was born with green stuff on the sac. the vet said the reason could have been a long labor and the stress kills it on the way out. all puppies are healthy . so i would say 4-6 for us. in the last few weeks you can feel them in mama.

Why would two female dogs both have had litters back to back the younger of the two had the last litter Now both female dogs are killing the puppies why would they do this?
if one of the female dogs touched the others pups the pup would smell like the other female, its mother would scent the smell (since dogs have good noses) and she would think its not her pup and kill it

Can dogs be mentally challenged?
Yes, they can. Usually when a bitch has a very large litter, the last one out can be deprived of oxygen during a long labor and delivery, and brain damage results. A crowded pup may have other malformations as well, such as a withered limb.
In dogs short hair is dominant over long hair. Two short haired dogs are the parents of a litter of eight puppies. Six puppies have short hair and two have long hair. What are the genotypes of parents?
Well, it really depends. You have to look at their pedigree and find out if anyone in their family has long hair. Such as the grandpa or grandma. 2 short hair dachsunds had 4 puppies. 3 were short haired and one was long. Their next litter was 2:2 and their last litter was 2:2 again. The dads parents both had long hair.
