Here's what the humans have to say about me:
NOTICE: Like most all rescue groups, we do NOT adopt our Poodles to families who outside a 1 days drive from our location here in central Minnesota. Thank you.
This Standard Poodle puppy comes to Picket Fence Poodle Rescue as a donation from a breeder who sadly could no longer care for them. Mike and I picked up two puppies on St Patrick’s Day so we call them Patrick and O’Connor! What lucky boys they are!
We are quickly becoming attached to these beautiful, handsome puppy boys who were born on November 22, 2018. At their recent visit to our Vet, PATRICK, the black male, weighed 25 pounds and stands at 18 inches tall measuring from the floor to his shoulders, while his brother, O’CONNOR, the brown male, weighs 24 pounds and stands at 17 inches tall. We can see that O'Connor has a smaller bone structure and smaller feet; he will be smaller than his brother.
All of their shots (including Rabies) are up to date, they have been wormed, placed on a heartworm preventative, Home Again micro-chipped and registered. Both puppies have been Vet checked healthy, strong and sturdy.
Poodles do love water. So at our groomers, they both greatly enjoyed their bath and then were very good boys standing still while being scissored into a puppy trim and nails clipped.
PATRICK AND O’CONNOR are soft, gentle and loving Poodles who need socialization while being exposed to people, places and things. I will not hide the fact that they need work! Example: they are still a little hard to catch, are learning to come when they are called, have learned to do steps and are in the process of being leashed trained.
BUT these boys are POODLES (one of the smartest dogs) and will respond to positive attention along with a loving, easy going attitude. BOTH are also VERY FOOD motivated.
These big puppies don’t fit entirely into our laps, yet they so enjoy sitting mostly on a lap and our couch while we give them hugs, love and attention.
The video on our web site was just taken 8 days after they arrived. The boys have quickly moved their play time into our living room where the big, soft dog beds (and television) are located. You can also see that O’Connor has a leash on and is quickly learning about that.
Keep in mind that both are silly, fun loving 5 month old puppies who greatly enjoy to run and play and run and play with each other. While that is a wonderful experience for a puppy to have, these brothers have been together all their life and need to be separated. In that way, they will learn how to play, socialize and then bond with people!
House training has begun and both are doing perfectly. On our puppy routine, they keep their kennels clean and have not had an accident in our home.
PLEASE NOTE:
*A FENCED YARD WILL BE REQUIRED as these boys love to run and are just learning to “come”!
*Both are perfect with all other dogs, but PLEASE: NO cats, NO little dogs, NO aggressive or assertive dogs and NO young children.
*Preference will be given to active families with past Standard Poodle experience who can train and work with these smart puppy boys.
Yes. This is a very rare opportunity for the right family as we all know Standard Poodle puppies are hard to find. With the introduction of Doodles, sadly the Standard Poodle breed is slowly being eliminated and becoming extinct. Why Doodle when you can Poodle?
The puppies are AKC registered and we do have those papers, but they will not be given to you unless you have a acceptable reason for their possession. We are not familiar with their pedigree. Both parents had their hips x-rayed and approved.
Patrick and O’Connor’s adoption fee is $800.00 (including our $55.00 Minnesota state sales tax) EACH. This includes their puppy wellness Vet check, shots, worming, microchip and neuter. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO BRING YOUR PUPPY TO OUR VET WHEN THEY ARE AROUND 7 TO 8 MONTHS OF AGE FOR OUR VET TO NEUTER HIM. OR you can have him neutered at your Vet and we will offer a $100.00 rebate for you to keep or donate to Picket Fence Poodle Rescue.
Also included is a leash, collar, a very large bag of quality puppy food, treats, toys, one month supply of NuVet Plus Canine vitamins, a new blanket, a soft doggie bed, a book “Puppies for Dummies” along with lots of good information to help your adoption move forward on the right paw!
