Dogs must be tested for the various genetic diseases that standard poodles are susceptible to, including OFA or PennHIP x-rays for hip and elbow dysplasia, and examinations by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist and ophthalmologist for eye and heart problems. These tests can cost upwards of $700, depending upon your area.
