Being a runt should not be much of a concern. I was told by my dog's breeder that she was the runt of the litter.Gu ess what...she grew up to be a 90 lb dog ( same weight range as her siblings ), and she is bigger than most GSDs I see around here..even the males.
From the get go she was placed on a very high quality diet.

I had a podium stud that produced a couple disastrous litters out of unrelated bitches. From a teeny tiny to giant 13 in long neonate in a litter of eight. I kept the teentsy girl til she no longer was thriving at 14 weeks and my vet said it was time. Only fair to keep them, not pass on potential heartache.

I was told that in this females and males prior litter that there was a pup identical to this little girl who is now 70lbs.
I'm going to have a complete medical workup before I decide anything.

Dwafism is not the only thing that will cause a tiny pup. Could be any of a number of medical problems...heart defect, megaesophagus, kidney malformation, etc. At this stage, some annomolies can be diagnosed, but depends on how good your vet is. Best regards.
