OFA-verified means we matched a clearance in the OFA public database on a Poodle the breeder bred. A breeder without a match may still health test; we only count results we could check. 3 of these listings have an open red flag; each profile shows the evidence and how to dispute it.

Common Poodle health concerns
Hip dysplasia, Progressive retinal atrophy, Sebaceous adenitis, Addison's disease. Ask the breeder which of these the parents were screened for, and for results you can check.
Breeder licensing in Maryland
Maryland requires a Kennel license, issued by the county animal control / local licensing agency, not by the state if you meet 6 or more intact females (unspayed females over 6 months kept for breeding and selling offspring) or 6 or more litters.
No state issues a breed-specific breeder license, and a state license never replaces a USDA license or local zoning.
