Standard Poodle - Liver Disease Addisons

Question
Have you experienced this in any of your standard poodles?

Answer
Hello Randi,
Actually, we did have a dog that was diagnosed with Addisons disease, but he was treated with medication and lived to a ripe old age.  It can be passed from dog to dog through genes, so if you have a dog that has it or has it in its background, be careful if you intend to breed.  

I hope this helps you some.  If you have other questions for me, please feel free to ask.
