Beautiful dogs and litter.
Yes, King Buck was the runt and a very sickly pup. Sometimes they turn out to be one of the best of the litter. Years ago, I took a chance on the runt out of a litter of Bluetick Coonhounds. I knew that both sire and dam were proven coon dogs, so the odds were good.
She turned out to be a nice little coonhound. Fast and hard treeing. Any pup is a gamble. The key is in the breeding and genetics.
