FAMILY-RAISED IN HOME · DELIVERED TO NEW JERSEY
Half of New Jersey commutes into the city and the other half lives for the Shore, and the Poodle serves both: a Toy that rides NJ Transit in a bag and a Miniature that swims off a dock on Barnegat Bay. HonestPet connects New Jersey families with vetted breeders who raise Miniature and Toy Poodle litters at home and test the parents' eyes, knees, and hips. Every puppy arrives vet-checked, microchipped, and groomed, with free ground delivery anywhere in the state, Fort Lee to Cape May.
Health-tested parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to New Jersey.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
Our breeders raise their Poodle litters in the family room, not a kennel building, so the puppies arrive in New Jersey already used to footsteps overhead, a door buzzer, and a kid dropping a cereal bowl, and a Poodle keeps those first lessons for life. That's the difference between a puppy that settles into a Jersey City high-rise the first night and one that needs three weeks to stop shaking.
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 steer you to the size first, then the puppy. A Toy at 4 to 6 pounds for a Hoboken couple who'll carry the dog onto the PATH; a Miniature at 10 to 15 pounds for a Westfield or Montclair family with a yard and kids who want a dog that can keep up at the Shore. Then the pup in that litter with the right temperament, not the one with the best Instagram face.
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
HonestPet Poodles, Toy and Miniature alike, are home-raised by breeders we've vetted; pet stores and brokers never touch them. For a state this compact, nearly every family takes free ground delivery to the door, though a flight nanny can bring the puppy in the cabin into Newark, Trenton, Atlantic City, or Philadelphia; both sizes fit the under-seat carrier easily, and the puppy arrives brushed, with its first groom done.

A Poodle is the same dog in either size, curly, clever, low-shedding, and glued to its person, and it suits the most densely populated state in the country: it doesn't need a yard, it learns a building's rules in a day, and it fits a carrier. A Toy, under 10 inches and 4 to 6 pounds, is the dog for a Gold Coast apartment, a PATH commute, and an empty-nester in Princeton; a Miniature, 10 to 15 inches and 10 to 15 pounds, is the dog for a Morris County family with kids, a yard, and a Shore house. Both need a groomer every four to six weeks, both housetrain in days, and both bark at the buzzer until taught otherwise, which takes a Poodle about a week.
Our Toys mature at 4 to 6 pounds, our Miniatures at 10 to 15, which clears the pet caps in Hoboken and Jersey City towers and fits the carrier NJ Transit and PATH require for dogs. A Toy fits in a bag over your shoulder; a Miniature walks the Hudson waterfront beside you. On a January morning on the platform, a Toy wants a sweater.
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 real walk and a game of fetch every day, and the Shore in the off-season or the Morris County rail trails are close to perfect. A Toy is happy with a pair of short walks and some play on the rug. Both swim, so Barnegat Bay, the lakes in Sussex County, and the ocean in September are fair game with you in the water, though a Toy wears a vest in surf. Two Jersey rules: Lyme runs heavy from Hunterdon to the Pine Barrens and a curly coat hides ticks, so check the dog after every walk in grass, and a Toy stays on leash in the suburbs, where hawks and coyotes take dogs that size.
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
Almost every New Jersey family takes free ground delivery to the door, with the puppy brushed, fed on schedule, and handed over with the breeder's grooming notes, and for a state this size it's usually faster than the airport. If you'd still rather fly, a flight nanny carries your Poodle in the cabin to one of four airports serving New Jersey, and either size is a fraction of the airline limit. Both ways, the date is settled with you and the updates run until the puppy is inside.
Ground delivery is the gentlest trip for a Poodle puppy, and for a Toy it's the one we recommend: a short drive at an even temperature, water and a small meal every few hours because a tiny puppy's blood sugar drops faster than a bigger dog's, and a handoff at your door instead of a baggage claim at Newark.
Want to meet your puppy before reserving? If the breeder's location and schedule make it workable, HonestPet can set up an in-person visit, which is also the moment to see the parents' coats and ask what size the litter should finish at.
A flat $799 to whichever airport we serve for New Jersey is closest to you. The puppy rides in a soft carrier at the nanny's feet, never in the hold, and because either size is a fraction of the in-cabin limit, a Poodle is the easiest passenger we have. Newark takes nonstops from most breeder regions, and the nanny 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 departure for New Jersey, a licensed vet gives every Poodle a full exam built around the breed's weak points: 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. A certificate of veterinary inspection for interstate travel is issued at that visit, and the exam goes into the puppy's digital records, which also count under New Jersey's Pet Purchase Protection Act.
The puppy's core vaccines are complete for its age, and it has been dewormed on a schedule since the first weeks. Your New Jersey vet finishes the series, including the rabies shot the state requires before a license at 7 months, starts tick prevention early since the Shore and the Highlands both have serious tick seasons, and should talk with you about a harness instead of a collar, especially for a Toy, and a grooming schedule from the first month, because a Poodle that learns the groomer early is a calm adult on the table. The microchip goes in before travel, and we transfer the registration to you at the handoff.
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 Jersey is available as described on this page.
Yes, in both sizes. Nearly all New Jersey families use free ground delivery to the door, which for a Poodle is a short, easy drive and for a Toy is the trip we recommend. Flight nanny delivery is also available into Newark Liberty, Trenton-Mercer, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia for South Jersey, depending on route and availability, with the puppy in the cabin beside the nanny; 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 Jersey 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 every New Jersey Poodle arrives, and for a Toy it's the gentlest option. If you'd prefer the flight nanny, the puppy rides in the cabin into one of four airports serving New Jersey, with a Toy's feeding schedule kept through the flight.
| Where you live | Airport we fly into |
|---|---|
| Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Union, Morris, and Passaic counties | Newark Liberty International (EWR) |
| Middlesex, Somerset, Monmouth, and Ocean counties | Newark Liberty International (EWR) |
| Trenton, Princeton, and Mercer County | Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) |
| Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties | Philadelphia International (PHL), just across the Delaware |
| Atlantic City, Cape May, and the South Shore | Atlantic City International (ACY) |

NEW JERSEY QUESTIONS
Which size to choose, commuting with a Poodle, Shore summers, town licenses, and how the trip works: the questions New Jersey Poodle families ask most.
In much of the state, no. New Jersey has no statewide ban yet, but more than 150 towns, including Jersey City, Hoboken, Montclair, and Princeton, bar pet stores from selling commercially bred dogs, and any store still selling must post the breeder's name and USDA record, which for a Poodle usually traces to a large Midwestern kennel with no eye or knee testing. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect New Jersey families directly with vetted breeders who raise Miniature and Toy Poodles at home, share the parents' results, and deliver to your door.
Match the size to the household. A Toy, at 4 to 6 pounds, is the better fit for a Gold Coast apartment, a PATH or NJ Transit commute with the dog in a carrier, an empty-nester, and a home without small children, since a toddler can hurt a Toy by accident. A Miniature, at 10 to 15 pounds, is the better fit for a family in the suburbs with kids, a yard, and a Shore house. Both learn a building's rules in a day, both swim, both need a groomer every four to six weeks, and both need tick checks after a walk in grass.
Yes. New Jersey licenses every dog from 7 months, annually, through the municipal clerk, who wants a rabies certificate that stays valid through most of the license year. Many towns hold free rabies clinics each winter to make renewals easy, the fee is lower for spayed and neutered dogs, and it's the same for a five-pound Toy and a fifteen-pound Mini.
After you reserve your Poodle, HonestPet organizes the trip from the breeder's home to yours in New Jersey. A final vet check, a brush-out, and a meal come first; then the puppy travels in a climate-controlled vehicle with scheduled feeding stops, or in the cabin with a flight nanny. You'll have the timeline before departure and a message at each stage.
Short, 1 to 2 hours into Newark, with a nonstop almost always available. Your Poodle spends the flight in a carrier at the nanny's feet in the cabin, never in the hold, and a Toy puppy eats a small meal before boarding and another after landing. For most of New Jersey, though, ground delivery to the door is as fast as the drive to Newark.
In some cases. When the breeder's location and schedule allow, 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 different areas and kept private, so a visit is booked for one family at a time.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to New Jersey, 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.
