Hi and Welcome! Cant wait for pics.
My first poodle was also the runt of the litter... we had contacted the "breeder": wasnt much of a breeder but we knew nothing then... he said he only had this runt left, no one wanted her so he was going to be stuck with her... we took her and had the best 11 and 1/2 years possible with her... sometimes the runts are just the best one.
Right now I have a yorkie, Armani, but I still consider my parents poodles partially mine because we got them while I was still living at home... they are Elle and Bella.
Hope to get to know you better.
