PLEASE NOTE….. He is not from my breeding’s, but he is available and located in the Minnetonka area. Sally is his current caretaker . She has been the dog walker and caretaker for this beautiful Standard Poodle and is now helping to find him a new home. I’m looking for a hunting.
Hi there — my name’s Mikko. I’m a 4-year-old Standard Poodle with a big heart, a sharp nose, and a story that’s still being written. I’ve had a few changes in my life, and while my family couldn’t keep me, I’m still hoping to find a calm, loving home where I can truly settle in.
A little about me: I’m impeccably house-trained, crate-trained, and already neutered. Inside the home, I’m polite, have a sweet-nature, and enjoy a calm environment. I’m what you might call a sensitive soul, a dedicated “wildlife enthusiast,” a bit of a comedian, and one of the best dancers you might ever see.
I’m loyal and affectionate, and once I feel safe, I give the best full-body hugs (non-negotiable!). I like to take my time getting to know new people and surroundings. I can be sensitive to touch at first, but once you’re in my circle, you’ll have my whole heart — classic poodle move!
When I was younger, I had professional upland hunt training, and I still have strong instincts. I do love following a good squirrel, mouse, or rabbit trail.
Because of that, I’ll need a home without small animals or livestock, and a securely fenced yard would make me very happy. An invisible fence won’t be the right fit for me due to my high prey drive — trust me on this one!
On leash, I can sometimes feel overwhelmed by oncoming dogs and may “react,” but I do much better when I have space to relax and just be a dog. With the right structure, consistency, and outlet for my energy, I have a lot of potential and so much love to give.
My ideal home would be with someone patient, experienced with poodles, a hunt home and someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to go at my pace. A calm home (no young kids) will be best for me too. I could do well as your one-and-only, or with another confident dog who understands working breeds.
I’m really hoping for a family open to a gradual introduction, so we can both feel confident that it’s the right match.
So… what do you say? If you think we might be a fit, I’d love to meet you. Maybe we can go for a hike together. I’ll bring my leash and my curious nose.
With love and hope,
Mikko
