FAMILY-RAISED IN HOME · DELIVERED TO NEW HAMPSHIRE
New Hampshire families want a dog that can do Winnipesaukee in July and a Bedford mudroom in February without shedding on either, and a Poodle, Toy or Miniature, is that dog, with a brain that has the house figured out in a week. HonestPet connects New Hampshire families with vetted breeders who raise Miniature and Toy Poodle litters in their homes and screen the parents' eyes, knees, and hips before breeding. Every puppy arrives vet-checked, microchipped, and groomed, with free ground delivery from Salem to the North Country.
Health-tested parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to New Hampshire.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
A Poodle's first eight weeks shape the dog it becomes, so ours spend them in a family kitchen with a woodstove going and kids tracking in snow, not in a kennel block. Your puppy walks into a Bedford colonial, a Nashua cape, or a Portsmouth South End apartment already on a feeding routine and used to a doorbell, and it learns your household's rules in about the time it takes to find the warm spot by the stove.
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 choose the size before the puppy. A Toy at 4 to 6 pounds suits a Portsmouth condo, a Dartmouth grad student, or a retiree in Wolfeboro; a Miniature at 10 to 15 pounds suits a Windham family whose kids want a dog that can swim at Winnipesaukee and hike Monadnock. Then we'll say which puppy in that litter has the temperament for your house.
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
Each HonestPet Poodle, Toy or Miniature, grew up in a vetted breeder's home, not a store and not a broker's lot. New Hampshire families nearly always take free ground delivery to the door, since the state is a day's drive from our routes, and a flight nanny who carries the puppy in the cabin into Manchester, Pease, or Boston is there for those who'd rather fly; a Toy or a Mini fits under the seat with room to spare. The puppy arrives brushed and groomed, and from November through April it arrives in a sweater.

A Poodle is one breed at two sizes, curly, sharp, low-shedding, and devoted to its person, and New Hampshire suits both: a Toy, under 10 inches and 4 to 6 pounds, for a Portsmouth condo, a retiree in the Lakes Region, or a Durham apartment; a Miniature, 10 to 15 inches and 10 to 15 pounds, for a Bedford family with kids, a yard, and a lake place. 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 rather than sheds, and both bark at the snowblower until taught otherwise, which takes a Poodle about a week. Winter is the dividing line: a Mini in a coat and boots will snowshoe Bear Brook; a Toy at five pounds does the dooryard in a sweater and comes back in.
A HonestPet Toy finishes at 4 to 6 pounds and a Miniature at 10 to 15, which clears the weight limits in a Portsmouth or Manchester Millyard building and fits a carrier for the drive up to the lake. A Toy rides in a tote through Market Square; a Miniature walks the Rail Trail or Odiorne Point beside you. Either size fits a Nashua cape, and the Mini is sturdy enough for a second-grader and a sled.
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 New Hampshire is lakes: Winnipesaukee, Squam, Sunapee, Newfound, and the ocean at Hampton and Rye, where a Mini will retrieve out of cold water until you call it in. A Toy is content with two short walks and fetch down the hall, and off a dock or in the surf it wears a vest, since five pounds chills fast in New Hampshire water. December through April both go out in boots on salted sidewalks or get a paw rinse at the door, and below zero a Toy's walk is the dooryard and back. Bald eagles and great horned owls hunt every lake shore, coyotes live in the southern tier suburbs, and the ticks carry Lyme and anaplasmosis, so a Toy goes out with you at dusk and both sizes get a tick check after the trail.
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
Nearly all New Hampshire 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-93 and Route 16 forecasts from November to April. Prefer to fly? A flight nanny carries your Poodle in the cabin to one of three airports serving New Hampshire, and a Toy or a Miniature is a fraction of the airline limit. Either way, we agree on the date together and keep you posted until the puppy is by the stove.
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 that waits out a nor'easter rather than driving into it, and a scheduled handoff at your door in the southern tier, on the Seacoast, or in the Lakes Region.
Want to meet your puppy before it travels? If the breeder's location and schedule work together, HonestPet can arrange an in-person visit, the moment to see the parents' coats, ask what size the litter should finish at, and look through the eye and knee results.
A single $799 fee to any airport we serve for New Hampshire. Your Poodle makes the trip in a soft carrier at the nanny's feet in the cabin, never below in cargo, where the winter embargoes on checked pets would ground it anyway, and a Toy or a Miniature is so far under the in-cabin limit that the carrier is the simplest part. The nanny books a nonstop into Manchester or Boston, or a connection into Pease, keeps a Toy puppy fed on schedule, and hands the dog to you at arrivals; for most New Hampshire addresses, though, the van is just as quick.

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 New Hampshire, 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 New Hampshire, and the exam goes into the puppy's digital records for your Manchester, Seacoast, or Upper Valley vet.
Core shots are up to date for the puppy's age, and the breeder has dewormed on a schedule from the start. Your New Hampshire vet finishes the series, including the rabies shot the state requires by 3 months, and should start tick prevention the first warm week, since New Hampshire's Lyme and anaplasmosis rates are among the highest in the country; talk with you about leptospirosis, which has moved into the state; show you the 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 New Hampshire is available as described on this page.
Yes, in both sizes. Nearly all New Hampshire 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 Manchester-Boston Regional, Portsmouth, and Boston Logan, 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 New Hampshire 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.

THE JOURNEY HOME
Free ground delivery to the door is how nearly all of our New Hampshire Poodles arrive, and for a Toy it's the gentlest option. Families who'd rather fly book the flight nanny, who brings the puppy in the cabin to one of three airports serving New Hampshire, with a Toy's feeding schedule kept through the flight.
| Where you live | Airport we fly into |
|---|---|
| Manchester, Nashua, Concord, and the southern tier | Manchester-Boston Regional (MHT) |
| Portsmouth, Dover, and the Seacoast | Portsmouth International at Pease (PSM) |
| Salem, Derry, and the border towns | Boston Logan International (BOS), about 45 minutes south |

NEW HAMPSHIRE QUESTIONS
Which size to choose, lakes and winter, ticks, town licensing, and how a puppy travels in snow season: the questions New Hampshire Poodle families ask most.
Legally, yes. New Hampshire has no statewide ban on pet store puppy sales, and the few stores that still sell Poodles and Poodle crosses ship them in from large out-of-state kennels where nobody examined the parents' eyes or knees. A store can't produce the mother, the home, or a single test result. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect New Hampshire 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 winter. A Toy, at 4 to 6 pounds, is the better fit for a condo, a retiree, a student, and a home without toddlers, and it wears a sweater from November to April, a vest at the lake, and a harness everywhere. A Miniature, at 10 to 15 pounds, is the better fit for a family with kids, a yard, and a lake place, and in a coat and boots it will snowshoe and swim Winnipesaukee in July. Both are brilliant and low-shedding, and both see the groomer every four to six weeks whatever the season.
Yes. Once your Poodle turns 4 months, New Hampshire requires a license from your town clerk, and the license year runs May 1 to April 30, so renewals are due by April 30 with a monthly late fee after June 1. The clerk wants a current rabies certificate, which state law requires 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 New Hampshire around the calendar and the forecast. The puppy gets its vet check, a brushing, and a meal before departure, then travels in a heated, climate-controlled vehicle with feeding stops every few hours, or in the cabin with a flight nanny. You get the full schedule ahead of departure and an update every time the puppy changes hands.
Usually 1 to 2 hours into Manchester or Boston, with a connection for Pease, though for most New Hampshire addresses the van is as quick as the flight. Your Poodle is in a carrier at the nanny's feet for the whole flight, never in cargo, and a Toy puppy eats a small meal before boarding and again after landing so its blood sugar stays steady.
Sometimes. If the breeder's location and schedule work together, 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 a few states and kept private, so one family visits at a time.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to New Hampshire, 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.
