Barbet
Mandated by Verein für französische Vorstehhunde – VBBFL e.V.
This is not a disease or medical condition, but rather a genetic test used to verify the coat characteristics of the Barbet breed. It identifies the presence of the autosomal-dominant gene variant (KRT71) responsible for the breed's characteristic curly hair structure. Breeding clubs, such as the VBBFL e.V., use this verification to ensure dogs meet breed standards for coat type.
Owners will notice a naturally curly coat, which is a standard physical trait of the Barbet rather than a symptom of illness. This coat texture is typically present from puppyhood and develops fully as the adult coat grows in.
Because this is a healthy, normal physical trait and not a medical condition, no treatment is required. There are no associated medical costs, resulting in a treatment cost of 0 EUR.
