FAMILY-RAISED IN HOME · DELIVERED TO TEXAS
Texas is big enough to want a dog in two sizes, and the Poodle obliges: a Toy for a Dallas high-rise or a Hill Country retiree, a Miniature for a Katy family with a yard and three kids. HonestPet connects Texas 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 Texas, from the Woodlands to El Paso.
Health-tested parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to Texas.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
A Poodle is smart enough to learn bad habits as fast as good ones, which is why a litter raised in a kennel building and a litter raised in a kitchen arrive as different dogs. Our breeders raise theirs at home, around kids, the TV, and the back door, so your puppy walks into a Montrose bungalow or a Frisco two-story already on a routine and ready to learn yours.
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 help you pick the size before the puppy. A Toy at 4 to 6 pounds suits a couple in an Uptown Dallas tower or a Boerne retirement community; a Miniature at 10 to 15 pounds suits a family in Round Rock whose kids want a dog that can keep up. Then we'll tell you which puppy in that litter has the right temperament, even if it isn't the one you've already named.
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 HonestPet Poodle, Miniature or Toy, is raised in a vetted breeder's home; stores and brokers never handle them. Texas families choose free ground delivery to the door or a flight nanny who carries the puppy in the cabin into one of ten Texas airports, and both sizes fit the under-seat carrier with room to spare. The puppy arrives brushed, with its first groom done and the breeder's notes on the coat.

ABOUT THE BREED
A Poodle takes Texas heat in stride: a long muzzle that cools well, a coat that clips short for summer, and a natural love of water that turns a backyard pool or a Hill Country river into the best part of the day. The sizes sort the households. A Toy, under 10 inches and 4 to 6 pounds, is the lap dog for a high-rise, a retiree, and a weight-capped lease; a Miniature, 10 to 15 inches and 10 to 15 pounds, is the dog for a family with a yard, kids, and a lake house on Travis. Both learn fast, both bark at the gate until taught otherwise, and both need a groomer every four to six weeks, with the Houston humidity pushing that toward four.
A grown Toy from our breeders weighs 4 to 6 pounds; a grown Miniature, 10 to 15. Both clear the pet limits in Dallas and Austin apartment towers, both fit a carrier for the drive to the coast, and a Toy fits in a tote. In a Panhandle winter or a Dallas ice storm, a Toy wants a sweater; a Miniature mostly doesn't.
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, early and late from June through September, with the black-coated dogs kept out of the midday sun and every dog off the pavement when the back of your hand can't stand it. A Toy is content with two short walks and a game in the hallway. Both swim, so a pool is a feature, but the puppy learns the steps first. And the single most important Texas rule for a Toy: coyotes live in every suburb from Katy to Frisco to Stone Oak, and a five-pound dog is never off leash or alone in a yard at dusk.
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 Texas families take free ground delivery to the door, with the puppy brushed, fed on schedule, and handed over with the breeder's grooming notes. Prefer to fly? A flight nanny carries your Poodle in the cabin to one of ten Texas airports, and a Toy or a Miniature is so far under the airline limit that the carrier is the easy part. Either way, we confirm the date with you and send updates until the puppy is home.
Ground delivery is the gentlest trip for a Poodle puppy, and for a Toy it's the one we recommend: a cooled 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, and a handoff at your door rather than a curb at DFW.
Hoping to meet your puppy first? If the breeder's location and calendar allow, HonestPet can arrange an in-person visit, which is also the moment to see the parents' coats and ask what size the litter is likely to finish at.
A flat $799 to any Texas airport we serve. Your Poodle rides in a soft carrier at the nanny's feet in the cabin, never in cargo, and since both sizes weigh a fraction of the in-cabin limit, this is the easiest breed we fly. The nanny keeps a Toy puppy fed on schedule through the flight and meets you at arrivals with the puppy in hand.

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 Texas, a licensed vet gives it a full exam built around the breed's known issues: 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 health certificate required for interstate travel, and the exam goes into the puppy's digital records for your Texas vet.
Every core vaccine due for the puppy's age is on record, and deworming has been on a routine since week two. Your Texas vet finishes the series, including the rabies shot state law requires by 4 months, starts heartworm prevention at that first visit since the Gulf Coast's mosquito season barely pauses, 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 coat mats fast in Houston humidity and picks up burrs in Hill Country grass. The microchip goes in before the trip, and we help move the registration to you.
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 Texas is available as described on this page.
Yes, in both sizes. Free ground delivery to your door is the most popular option, and for a Toy puppy it's the one we recommend. Flight nanny delivery is also available into Dallas–Fort Worth, Love Field, Houston Bush and Hobby, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, Lubbock, Corpus Christi, and McAllen, 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 Texas 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.

TEXAS QUESTIONS
Which size to choose, coyotes, grooming in the heat, city registration, and how delivery works: the questions Texas Poodle families ask most.
It depends on the city. There's no statewide ban in Texas, though Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso all adopted local ordinances against commercially bred puppy sales, and a 2023 preemption law has made enforcement patchy. Where stores still sell Poodles, the puppies come from large kennels with no eye or knee testing on the parents. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect Texas families directly with vetted breeders who raise Miniature and Toy Poodles at home, share the parents' testing, and deliver to your door.
Match the size to the household and the yard. A Toy, at 4 to 6 pounds, is the better fit for a high-rise, a retiree, a weight-capped lease, and a home without small children, and it is never left alone in a Texas yard, since coyotes and hawks take dogs that size. A Miniature, at 10 to 15 pounds, is the better fit for a family with kids, a fenced yard, and weekends on the lake. Both handle the heat with a short clip and early walks, both swim, and both need a groomer every four to six weeks, closer to four in Houston.
Texas leaves licensing to its cities: Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth, El Paso, and most others want annual registration with a rabies certificate attached, and Texas law puts that rabies shot at 4 months. Your city's animal services page has the fee, which is lower for spayed and neutered dogs and the same for either size.
Once you reserve your Poodle, HonestPet coordinates the trip from the breeder's home to your door in Texas. The puppy gets a final vet check, its coat brushed out, and a meal before departure, then rides in a climate-controlled delivery vehicle with scheduled feeding stops, or in the cabin with a flight nanny. The schedule reaches you before departure, and so does a message at every handoff.
Count on 2 to 3 hours in the air to Texas, depending on where the breeder is and which airport you pick. The puppy spends the flight in a carrier at the nanny's feet, never in cargo, and a Toy gets a small mid-flight meal to keep its blood sugar level, the one thing a tiny Poodle needs that a bigger puppy doesn't.
Sometimes. When the breeder's location and schedule permit, HonestPet can arrange a visit so you can meet your puppy and the parents and see what size the adults finished at. Our breeders are spread across several states and value their privacy, so visits are arranged one family at a time rather than offered as open hours.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to Texas, 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.
