Selecting Your Runt

 

Pink runts are a unique case because they have a high mortality rate. This makes them a very attractive market for breeders. Most pink runts are deformed or have other genetic defects that make it extremely difficult to produce quality offspring. Breeders therefore like pink runts and will do anything possible to breed them so they are prolific in the AKC show ring.

There is more to this than meets the eye. One of the common characteristics of defective pink runts is that their feet are quite large when they are still puppies. This alone makes them unsuitable for use by show judges. When they get older their feet begin to grow and this changes the angle at which the runts are walked. This is another problem that makes show judges prefer the more robust mergans.

So the key to getting your dog to breed is to buy runts strain from a reputable breeder. You can also buy runts strain from a puppy mill, but you should be wary of those as well. I don't know of any reputable kennels that offer breeding opportunities to stray and unhealthy dogs. In the long run you are better off getting a good purebred puppy from someone who has been in the business for a long time.

If you can find an ethical breeder who is willing to work with you and your budget, then I would encourage you to buy runts Kros strain from them. It is a lot easier to get an ethical breeder than one who is just trying to make a quick buck off of you. The key is to find out as much as you can about each dog before you buy runts. Ask the breeder for references and check with the local vets to make sure that the dog is free of any genetic defects.

Once you have found a reputable breeder, you should start to look at the different characteristics of different runts. For example, you should go to the vet and have the puppy examined. Get the history of the dog as well, so that you will know how old it is. The better you understand the history of the runt the more likely it is that it will have bred properly and produce healthy runts. Once the vet gives you the all clear on the health of the puppy you should make an appointment to take the puppy to the breeder's facility where they keep their pedigreed runts.

The runts in the puppy's litter should be all in one litter. If not, then there could be several mixed breeds in the litter and this is something you do not want to buy runts of if you are breeding for profit. You want to make sure you get a purebred puppy with traits that will suit your purposes in breeding the dog.
