Miniature Poodle Puppies for Sale in Minnesota
Our Mini Poodle puppies can be hand-delivered right to your door in Minnesota.
Miniature Poodle Puppies for Sale in Minnesota
Our Miniature Poodle puppies for sale in Minnesota all grow up in Ohio, where The Puppy Lodge is based. With van delivery, your puppy comes west through Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin to reach your door. As adults, our Mini Poodles usually weigh between 10 and 15 pounds and measure 10 to 15 inches at the shoulder. Their curly single coat drops very little hair around the house and keeps growing all year. By the time a puppy heads to Minnesota, it has a microchip, a health record, and up-to-date vaccinations and dewormings, and its crate and potty training are underway.
Reserving a Miniature Poodle Puppy From Minnesota
You can reserve any Mini Poodle on this page online without leaving Minnesota, at prices from $1,995 depending on color, coat type, and gender. The $200 deposit that holds your puppy is non-refundable, though we can shift it to another available puppy if something comes up.
Sales are first come, first served with no waitlist, which means another family can reserve a listed puppy before you do. You can also claim a pick from an upcoming litter before the puppies are born. Seeing a puppy on FaceTime before you commit is easy to arrange. To spread out the cost, you can apply online for financing through Credova.
Puppies are ready to leave at eight weeks or older. We can arrange van delivery or a flight nanny to Minnesota, and you are also welcome to pick up in Ohio.

Getting Your Miniature Poodle Puppy Home to Minnesota
Minnesota is a 12 to 18 hour drive from Fresno. The trip is shortest to Rochester and the river towns of the southeast, and longest to Moorhead, just across the Red River from Fargo. Once a puppy is reserved, we settle on the method and a date together over the phone.
Two things come with every puppy, however it gets to Minnesota. One is a blanket with its mother's scent, and the other is a bag of the food it eats at the kennel, which lets you change its diet slowly.
Van Delivery, Our Top Choice for Minnesota
For nearly every Minnesota address, we suggest home delivery. It is the most popular of our three options, and the fee is around $450. Your puppy makes the trip with two drivers from a professional pet transport service, in a custom van kept climate-controlled for the entire route. Shortly before the van pulls out of Ohio, the puppy gets a vet check and is settled into a carrier it has to itself. Updates come in along the way, and the drive finishes at your front door. On a January delivery to St. Cloud or Brainerd, the heated van keeps the puppy warm until the last few steps to your house.
Flying Into MSP, Duluth, or Rochester With a Nanny
A flight nanny gets your puppy to Minnesota faster than the van. It also costs more, and we quote it separately for each flight. Your puppy stays in the passenger cabin the whole flight, inside an airline-approved soft carrier that a trained handler keeps under the seat ahead. Photos and video come to you as it travels. The cargo hold is never part of the trip. You meet the handler at baggage claim at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International, Duluth International, or Rochester International.
To fly, a puppy has to be at least eight weeks old, and the nanny service caps the weight at 20 pounds with the carrier on the scale. At eight weeks, a Mini Poodle puppy weighs far less than that, carrier and all. Before the flight, we arrange for a licensed vet to issue the puppy's health certificate. Winter storms around the Twin Cities can push a flight back, so this option needs some flexibility on the date.
Picking Up in Fresno, Ohio
You can also drive to Fresno and collect your puppy by appointment, though from Minnesota that usually means an overnight stop each way. The vaccination records go home with you, and we walk through the microchip registration and health guarantee at the kennel. On the same trip, you can meet the puppy's mother and tour the facility.

The Miniature Poodle Puppy Breeder Network Serving Minnesota Families
The Nisleys have been raising dogs for more than 13 years, and The Puppy Lodge runs from their five acre farm in Fresno, Ohio. Our Mini Poodle litters are raised in a closed circle of kennels near the farm, which is the setup our broker license covers. Those kennels hold only Puppy Lodge dogs, breed and test to our health and genetic standard, and never take in a puppy from outside. The Puppy Lodge owns the parent dogs, apart from the occasional outside stud.
Before pairing, we test the parents for inherited conditions such as progressive retinal atrophy, an eye disease. What testing does is lower the likelihood rather than remove it. No breeder can promise more, and we would rather set that expectation now. Danville Veterinary Clinic vets check adult dogs and newborn litters weekly, and in a dog this small they spot a slipping kneecap or early eye change before an owner would. Early neurological stimulation starts on day 3 and ends on day 16, and every puppy is picked up and played with daily.
Minnesota families can't easily stop by, so as a Miniature Poodle puppy breeder serving Minnesota from Ohio, we review a litter's parent testing with you by phone. The puppy you choose is covered by a written three year health guarantee. Past buyers have posted more than 50 Google reviews you can read before reserving.
