With so many barbet clubs in Europe, you'd think one of them may have posted this news by now! At the World Dog Show, Genoscoper announced the discovery of the gene (or a marker) for CA in the Barbet that can be tested for via DNA. Hopefully this discovery will also be applicable to Lagotto or move them forward rapidly in their research to develop a reliable CA test for our breed.
Genoscoper will at some point in the very near future be calling for samples from affected and healthy Lagotto. (Updated MAY 2013)

And as pointed out to me this morning by a friend, WHY is it not on a barbet club site but on a Lagotto Club site amongst others?
