Health Genetics
Health Risk Calculator
Enter both parents’ DNA panel results for known recessive disease variants and see the odds for each puppy, the same Punnett-square math as the coat calculator, applied to health.
Only traits with documented relevance to this variety are shown. See the full health testing reference for every variety and test, including ones not included in this calculator.

Results incomplete — one or more traits not tested in both parents
Odds are shown only for traits where both parents have a DNA panel result. Test the traits marked "Test both parents for odds" for a complete picture.
Offspring odds by trait
This calculator covers traits with well-established, single-gene recessive inheritance in poodles only. It deliberately excludes von Willebrand Disease Type 1 (labs describe its inheritance inconsistently — recessive at some, dominant with incomplete penetrance at others) and CDDY (dominant, and not established as a disc-disease risk in poodles despite being close to universal in Toy and Miniature). See the full health testing reference for those and every other test. A result here is only as good as the DNA panel it came from — always confirm with your testing laboratory. Educational use only, not veterinary advice.
