Open it's mouth and peer inside...you should easily be able to see a cleft in the roof of it's mouth.

I am just now finding this thread. I have raised a cleft puppy. what do you need to know?
How old is your pup?
How much does it weigh?
Why do you think it has a cleft?

You can PM me, if you have questions.
Here's the link to my thread,
