The common diseases in the Standard Poodle include Addisons, Bloat, Epilepsy, Hip Dysplasia, Hypothyroidism, Patellar Luxation, Sebaceous Adenitis, Von Willebrands, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, and Neonatal Encephalopathy.  

Our dogs are tested for DM, NEwS, PRA, VwD. prcd and other genetic disease test available for Standard Poodles.
