Jakey is getting a baby brother! Feel free to give me name ideas, pure bred Standard Poodle, champion bloodlines, I got him here, http://www.parrishill.com/
I read you shouldn't take the biggest or smallest of the litter, but I also read how to "test" a puppy. Even though he's the smallest puppy he was relaxed when I held him, relaxed when I put him in the cruk of my arm and looked me in the eyes for a long time. He was alert and looked when I clapped and he was the only one who cocked his head to say "what" when I talked to him. He held his own with the other puppies without being too rambunctous. He allowed me to hold him out with no other support and didn't squirm and looked me in the eyes, he allowed me to put him on his back and played and swatted at my fingers. He did all the right things you want from a puppy except he was the "runt" of the litter. I was assured that there should only be a difference in height of all the puppies of about 2 inches anyway. I'll post more pictures when I get him in 3 weeks, in the interm I will visit and handle him as much as possible so that the move is less stressful for him. On to the pictures!
Aw, what a cutie!
Chirac. Goes with Jake.
He's a cutie...how old is he?....first name that pop into my mind was...Curly....lol
Awwwwwww.
Doggie Ping Material that I told you about!
I just put a deposit down as well - I get mine I think at nine weeks as well. Yours is adorable.

He's 6 weeks, after 9 weeks I get to take him home, I'll be visiting and holding/playing with him in between so he knows me.
Oh! How sweet! I've known 3 poodles...C-Note, Muffin and Baby. Not original at all!
LOL, you sure you weren't thinking Monica?
Ok his real name was Carl Friedrich Anton von Weber but I couldn't quite manage to wrap my brain around hanging that long name on such a cute scrap of fluff even if he was of champion bloodlines. So Fuzzy Face he was to his dying day.
Easy to see why. He sure likes the t*tt*es.
As we all do.:*O
Very cute! How about Elwood for a name? You know Jake and Elwood.
At Halloween you could put dark glasses and little black hats on them. ;~D
First of all - AWWWWWWW.
Second, I've owned several "runt" pups and they've ALL turned out to be great dogs!
Oh, gosh, that's a cute little monster!
Hey...I like that. Heh...

That's a great idea! I was also thinking about Chip, because when I get another puppy he can be Dale.
