Where does the health information come from?
Dogs registered with the Poodle Health Registry have their health information in the database. These dogs, as with other registries, are submitted by their owners with the necessary paperwork. We have also included the SA and / or Addisons dogs from several Poodle club registries, including the UK Standard Poodle Club SA and AD registries, marked with [SPC], the Swedish Poodle club [SPK], the Finnish Poodle Club [FPK], the Norwegian Poodle Club [NPK], and the Danish Poodle Club [DPK]. Also included are the dogs from the old Genetic Disease Control in Animals SA Registry, they are marked with a [GDC]. Additionally dogs from OFA’s SA registry (affecteds and subclinicals only) have been added. The OFA VWD affecteds and carriers have been added, and we are in the process of adding the dogs tested clear of VWD via a DNA test. The OFA dogs are marked with [OFA]. Some hip status information from the Norwegian Kennel Club (NKK), the Swedish Kennel Club (SKK), the Finnish Kennel Club (KoiraNet)
