If you have a puppy born with a cleft palate or lip, or have in the past and have access to living relatives (sire, dam, siblings, etc), please contact Zena to participate in this study. CP can result from several different causes but they are working on isolating the genetic form in Labs in order to have a test we can use to screen dogs prior to breeding. They have successfully identified two different forms of CP mutations in Tollers, which are simple recessive genes, and now have tests available. I think they are also collecting samples from breeds other than Labs too.
