Following consultation with the Standard Poodle Breed Health Co-ordinator in the UK, The Kennel Club has agreed to set up a new DNA Testing Scheme for vWD (type 1) in this breed.

Vetgen also offer NE (Neonatal Encephalopathy) screening for Standard Poodles which can be run on the same sample.

Please note; the box that refers specifically to registry of test results. Standard Poodle breeders simply write: The Kennel Club – UK where it says “…to this registry” and then add “no fee.”

The data will be submitted to the Kennel Club on a monthly basis.

Anyone who has already tested is welcome to fax or mail a request, with a signature and report number, to Vetgen and they will transmit those as well.

All results will be recorded in the Breed Records Supplement, on the dog's registration certification and any progeny certificates, and will appear on the KC website.
