FAMILY-RAISED IN HOME · DELIVERED TO NEBRASKA
Nebraska sits in the middle of the country's commercial-kennel belt, and a Poodle puppy in an Omaha store window may have been born in a barn of three hundred dogs an hour down the interstate. A Poodle born in a kitchen is a different dog. HonestPet connects Nebraska families with vetted breeders who raise Miniature and Toy Poodle litters in their homes and screen the parents' eyes, knees, and hips before breeding, with results you can read before you reserve. Every puppy arrives vet-checked, microchipped, and groomed, with free ground delivery from Bellevue to Scottsbluff.
Health-tested parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to Nebraska.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
The first eight weeks are when a Poodle decides whether the world is safe, and a kitchen teaches that better than a kennel row ever will. Ours spend those weeks in a kitchen with kids, a dishwasher, and a doorbell, so your puppy walks into a Dundee bungalow, a Papillion two-story, or a Near South four-square in Lincoln already on a feeding routine, and it learns your household's rules in about the time it takes to find the heat register.
Our breeders begin Early Neurological Stimulation when puppies are three days old and follow Puppy Culture practices until they’re ready to join their new families. Short, gentle daily handling helps puppies become more comfortable with new experiences as they grow.
Review the testing status listed for each puppy's mom and dad, and ask our team for available eye, knee, hip, and genetic screening records. Testing varies by parent; knowing what is documented helps you make an informed choice.
We'll settle the size before the puppy. A Toy at 4 to 6 pounds suits an Old Market loft, a UNL grad student, or a retiree in Elkhorn; a Miniature at 10 to 15 pounds suits a Gretna family whose kids want a dog that can swim at Lake Zorinsky and walk the MoPac Trail. Then we'll point out the puppy in that litter with the temperament for your household.
Every puppy comes with a 10-year genetic health guarantee and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Message our Care360 Team at 10 weeks or 10 years. We stay in touch with our families for the life of the dog.
STATEWIDE DELIVERY
Every Poodle we place, Toy or Miniature, grew up in a vetted breeder's home, never in a store or a kennel barn. Nebraska families take free ground delivery to the door or a flight nanny who carries the puppy in the cabin into Eppley, Lincoln, Grand Island, or Scottsbluff; a Toy or a Mini fits under the seat with room to spare. The puppy shows up brushed, with its first groom done, and between November and March it shows up in a sweater.

Browse all Miniature and Toy Poodle puppies →ABOUT THE BREED
A Poodle is one breed at two sizes, curly, sharp, low-shedding, and devoted to its person, and Nebraska suits both: a Toy, under 10 inches and 4 to 6 pounds, for an Old Market loft, a retiree, or a Haymarket apartment; a Miniature, 10 to 15 inches and 10 to 15 pounds, for a Papillion family with kids, a yard, and a boat on the Platte. Both rank second among all breeds for trainability and housetrain in days, both need a groomer every four to six weeks because the coat grows instead of shedding, and both bark at the wind until taught otherwise, which takes a Poodle about a week. The seasons sort them: a Mini walks through a Nebraska January in a coat and boots and a July in the early morning; a Toy at five pounds wears a sweater and gets carried across hot pavement.
A HonestPet Toy finishes at 4 to 6 pounds and a Miniature at 10 to 15, which clears the weight limits in an Old Market or Haymarket building and fits a carrier for the drive out to the lake. A Toy rides in a tote through Village Pointe; a Miniature walks the Keystone Trail or the MoPac beside your bike. Either size fits a Dundee bungalow, and the Mini is sturdy enough for a first-grader.
Poodles have curly, low-shedding coats that need regular brushing and professional grooming. No dog is completely hypoallergenic; families with allergies should spend time around Poodles before deciding.
Miniatures can be a better match for families with children, while a tiny Toy needs especially gentle handling. Supervise every interaction, teach children to let the puppy rest, and choose temperament as carefully as size.
Miniature and Toy Poodles respond well to short, positive training sessions. Practice house training, calm greetings, and quiet hallway behavior consistently, and add puzzle games to keep their quick minds occupied.
A Miniature Poodle wants a daily walk and a swim, and Nebraska has more water than people expect: Lake Zorinsky, Branched Oak, Lake McConaughy, the Platte's sandbars, and the Sandhills lakes, where a Mini will retrieve until the sun drops. A Toy is content with two short walks and fetch down the hallway, and off a dock or in the Missouri it wears a vest, since five pounds and a river current don't mix. December through March both go out on salted sidewalks in boots or get a paw rinse at the door, and below zero a Toy's walk is the yard and back. Red-tailed hawks and great horned owls hunt the edges of every Nebraska subdivision, coyotes live in the greenbelts, and tornado season means both sizes know where the basement is, so a Toy goes out with you at dusk and is never alone in a yard.
Both sizes enjoy being close to their people. Build up alone time gradually, provide enrichment, and arrange a dog walker or sitter when your schedule keeps you away for long stretches.

GETTING YOUR PUPPY HOME
Most Nebraska families take free ground delivery to the door, with the puppy brushed, fed on schedule, and handed over with the breeder's grooming notes, and our drivers watch the I-80 forecast from November to April. Prefer to fly? A flight nanny carries your Poodle in the cabin to one of four Nebraska airports, and a Toy or a Miniature is a fraction of the airline limit. Either way, we agree on the date together and keep you updated until the puppy is on your kitchen floor.
Ground delivery is the gentlest trip for a Poodle puppy, and for a Toy it's the one we recommend: a heated vehicle the whole way, water and a small meal every few hours because a tiny puppy's blood sugar drops faster than a bigger dog's, a route planned around a prairie blizzard or a spring storm cell, and a scheduled handoff at your door in Omaha, Sarpy County, Lincoln, or Central Nebraska.
Want to meet your puppy before it travels? Where the breeder's location and schedule permit, HonestPet can arrange an in-person visit, the moment to see the parents' coats, ask what size the litter should finish at, and read eye and knee results no kennel can produce.
A flat $799 to any Nebraska airport we serve. Your Poodle travels in a soft carrier at the nanny's feet in the cabin, not in cargo, where the winter embargoes on checked pets would ground it anyway, and both sizes are so far under the in-cabin limit that the carrier is never the issue. The nanny books a nonstop into Eppley or a short connection into Lincoln, Grand Island, or Scottsbluff, keeps a Toy puppy fed on schedule, and hands the dog to you at arrivals.

HEALTH FIRST
Miniature and Toy Poodles have breed-specific health considerations. Ask to review available screening results for your puppy's parents, including eye, knee, and hip evaluations where appropriate. Testing varies by parent, and no screening or genetic test can guarantee a puppy will never develop a health problem.
Ask for available eye examination records for both parents. An eye exam can identify some inherited or developing eye problems, but a normal result is not a lifetime guarantee of healthy vision.
Luxating patellas can affect small Poodles. Ask about available parental knee evaluations and discuss the results with your veterinarian; screening helps assess risk without ruling out every future knee problem.
Hip health is an important discussion, especially for Miniature Poodles. Ask which evaluations are appropriate for the parents and whether results are available to review with your veterinarian.
Some forms of progressive retinal atrophy can affect Miniature and Toy Poodles. Where relevant genetic results are available, ask which variant was tested and how the parents were paired. A genetic panel does not replace clinical eye exams.
This inherited bleeding disorder can occur in Poodles. Ask whether relevant parental genetic testing is available and share any results with your vet when planning surgery or other procedures.
Review the health history and documented adult size of both parents. Discuss dental care, feeding needs, and any family history of health concerns with the breeder and your vet, especially when considering a very small Toy puppy.
Before a Poodle leaves for Nebraska, a licensed vet gives it a complete exam with the breed's trouble spots in focus: the knees, since luxating patellas are the most common orthopedic problem in both sizes, the eyes, the bite and baby teeth, which crowd in a Toy's small jaw, the heart, and in a Toy, the trachea. The vet issues the certificate of veterinary inspection required for travel into Nebraska, and the exam goes into the puppy's digital records for your Omaha, Lincoln, or Kearney vet.
Core vaccines are done for the puppy's age, and deworming has run on a schedule since the puppy's second week. Your Nebraska vet finishes the series, including the rabies shot the state requires by 3 months, and should start heartworm prevention in spring, since the Platte and Missouri bottoms breed mosquitoes from April on; talk with you about ticks, which carry ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever across the eastern half of the state; show you a harness that protects a Toy's trachea; and set a winter grooming schedule, since a short-clipped Poodle needs a coat outdoors. The microchip is already in when the puppy ships, and the handler helps you put the registration in your name.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Prices vary by puppy, size, and other individual characteristics. Check the current price on each available listing and ask our team what is included before reserving. Free ground delivery to Nebraska is available as described on this page.
Yes, in both sizes. Most Nebraska families take free ground delivery to the door, and for a Toy puppy that's the trip we recommend. In-cabin flight nanny delivery is also available into Omaha Eppley, Lincoln, Grand Island, and Scottsbluff, depending on route and availability, with the puppy at the nanny's feet in the cabin; a Miniature or Toy Poodle is well under every airline's in-cabin limit.
No dog is completely hypoallergenic. Poodles have low-shedding coats, but allergens are also found in saliva and skin flakes. Spend time around Poodles before choosing a puppy if allergies are a concern, and plan on regular brushing and grooming.
Our Toy Poodles typically finish at 4 to 6 pounds and our Miniatures at 10 to 15 pounds. Adult size varies by puppy; review the listing's estimated adult weight and ask about both parents before making your choice.
Your puppy comes home with a starter bag of food, a blanket that smells like their littermates, a toy, microchip details, and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Choose an available puppy and send us an inquiry. Our team can help you review the puppy, meet by video, and confirm the reservation deposit, total price, and payment schedule before you proceed.
Ask our team for available parent eye, knee, hip, and genetic screening results; testing varies by parent. Each puppy's veterinary, vaccine, deworming, and microchip records help your Nebraska vet plan ongoing care. Screening cannot eliminate every inherited or future health risk.
Each breeder may have a different preferred puppy food, so we provide the specific brand and formula your puppy is currently eating to help make the transition to your home as smooth as possible. If you decide to switch foods, we recommend transitioning gradually to help avoid digestive upset.
Our puppies go home at 8 weeks old.

NEBRASKA QUESTIONS
Which size to choose, how to tell a home litter from a kennel litter, winter and storm care, city licensing, and how a puppy travels: the questions Nebraska Poodle families ask most.
Legally, yes. Nebraska has no statewide ban on pet store puppy sales, so Poodles and Poodle crosses still turn up in store windows, many of them from large commercial kennels in Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri where nobody examined a parent's eyes or checked a knee. A store can't produce the mother, the home, or a single test result. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect Nebraska families directly with vetted breeders who raise Miniature and Toy Poodles at home and share the parents' screening before you reserve.
Match the size to the household and the seasons. A Toy, at 4 to 6 pounds, is the better fit for a loft or condo, a retiree, a student, and a home without toddlers, and it wears a sweater in January, rides across July pavement, and stays on a leash where hawks and coyotes hunt. A Miniature, at 10 to 15 pounds, is the better fit for a family with kids, a yard, and a lake weekend, and it walks through a Nebraska winter in a coat and boots. Both are brilliant and low-shedding, and the groomer is a four-to-six-week appointment in every season.
It depends on the city. Nebraska has no statewide dog license, but Omaha licenses through the Nebraska Humane Society, Lincoln through Animal Control, and most other cities issue their own once your Poodle has a current rabies certificate. State law requires that rabies shot by 3 months, spayed and neutered dogs pay less, and the fee is the same for a five-pound Toy and a fifteen-pound Mini.
After you reserve your Poodle, HonestPet plans the trip from the breeder's home to yours in Nebraska around the calendar and the forecast. Before it leaves, the puppy is vet-checked, brushed, and fed; then it travels in a heated, climate-controlled vehicle with feeding stops every few hours, or in the cabin with a flight nanny. You'll get the schedule before departure and a message from each leg.
Usually 1 to 3 hours into Eppley, depending on the breeder's location, with a short connection for Lincoln, Grand Island, or Scottsbluff. Your Poodle is in a carrier at the nanny's feet for the whole flight, never in cargo, and a Toy puppy gets a small meal before boarding and another after landing so its blood sugar holds.
Sometimes. Where the breeder's location and schedule permit, HonestPet can set up a visit so you can meet the puppy and the parents and see what size the adults finished at. Breeder homes are in several states and kept private, so visits are booked one family at a time.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to Nebraska, or which Miniature and Toy Poodle would suit your home. We'll set up a video call so you can meet your puppy before you decide.
