Hi Peggy
I find this information very interesting. How does a dual sired litter
work?

That is an old wives tale that dogs can have a double or a delayed
insemination during a single cycle. Most pregnancies take place
during 12-16 day of a bitches cycle when mated, and pregnancy can
only happen once, only one sperm cell can make it and all the other
sperm cells die off.
The runts are from poor genetics and BYBs & PMs breeding there already
smallest chis hoping to get even more runts. However, if a healthy
line has been proven of small chis like 3-4 pounders which is what
most show chis are, then you can keep a good line going. I am not
saying that even in a healthy line there won't be a couple of defects,
because that happens in any breed of dog, it's just the way genetics
work, eventually weak genes will show through a line in some generations.

Some of the BYB erroneously called teacups are runts. BYB and PMs will
let the male and female mate several times and the due date is from
the first breeding that took. So if allowed to breed for 5-7 days a
pup can be 5-7 days early and a runt. Since they are premature the
skull is not full formed along with other things, lungs etc just like
a premie human.

Usually it is from bad breeding for the so called teacup chi.

That's the very 1st thing the vet checked for when I took my Chi pup
in for a check-up. I told her, "Nope, she doesnt have one" as soon as
I saw her feeling her head lol is there any rhyme or reason as to
which pups have that soft spot? Or is it just random?

Molera is a soft spot in some Chihuahuas skulls and people pups too.
It is where the skull has not completly closed so only skin and
membrane sheilds the brain. Your vet would know if your pup had one
and should have warned you.
