Expert Answer
Common Poodle issues include colds, patellar dislocation, testicular cysts, and tear stains. Colds are very common, so keep your dog warm. As a small breed with fine bones, Poodles easily develop knee dislocation.
Male Poodles are prone to reproductive issues like testicular cysts, and they also often get tear stains.

My Poodle's knee popped out once and it was patellar dislocation, common in the breed, so I watch his jumping. They're also cold-prone and tear-stain magnets, and males get testicular cysts. Keep him warm, wipe the eye stains, and feel his knees periodically. The luxating patella is the one that needs vigilance, it can worsen and need surgery, so if he skips steps or lifts a leg, get it checked early.
