Before you breed, you must health test your dog (and, in this case, you will have to wait a couple years to get a good idea of what your bitch will be passing on to its offspring).
So, you'll need to test her eyes through OptiGen (optigen.com) and/or CERF (Canine Eye Registration Foundation -- www.vmdb.org/cerf.html).
Also, you'll need to test her hips through OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals -- www.offa.org).
If you can't do these bare minimums and/or if your Poodle happens to carry a genetic disease (bad hips and/or PRA), she should be spayed. Good Luck in your research and please consider spaying your Poodle. If your aim is to expand your doggy family by breeding your Poodle, then my suggestion is to go to your nearest animal shelter and adopt all the Poodles in the kennels![]()
