Standard Poodle Breed Health Concerns
https://poodleclubofamerica.org/health-concerns/
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.
Although there is not a genetic test for Addisons, Sebaceous Adenitis, and other autoimmune conditions, we participate in VGL testing through Better Bred and consider diversity in all breed plans to lessen the risks of these autoimmune disorders in the puppies we produce.
BLOAT
Every Poodle Owner Must Educate themselves about Bloat.

OUR HEALTH TESTING
Our Dogs are tested to meet or go beyond CHIC recommendations.
We
aim to do both Pennhip and OFA evaluations, and both Thyroid and Heart.
We do our best to update Heart and Eyes annually even on our retired dog
We also submit for OFA
Dentition, Patella, and have also begun doing Elbows. Because Thyroid disease may not be caught at 2 years old, we test our dogs again before 6 years of age. Our dogs are either Embark or PawPrint tested for DM, NEwS, PRA, VwD, as well as prcd4, Day Blindness, and other genetic disease test available for Standard or Miniature Poodles when applicable.

STATEMENT ON MERLE: Merle is not a naturally occurring Poodle pattern. Therefore, breeders selling "Merle Poodles" are
selling mix breeds, as this is the only way to introduce the Merle
pattern into the Poodle by breeding a Merle breed dog such as Australian
Shepherds to a Poodle, then breeding the mix breed dog back to Poodles
for a few generations until they look like poodles and test as purebred poodle. These breeders are fraudulently registering these dogs with AKC using
false color choices. Merle is not a pattern accepted by any registries
for Poodles.
The problem with
introducing Merle pattern is that the Merle gene can hide in several
solid colors of Poodles which can cause unknowing breeding of Double
Merles. Doubles merles have poor health including blindness, deafness and other serious health concerns. There are breeders that will claim it is okay because they are careful to color test to not produce double merles; however, registering Merle poodles as purebred is dishonest and one has to wonder, if they are willing to lie about their dog's color to AKC, what else are they willing to lie about?
