Good news for our breed.
January 1st 2012, the quarantine/importing rules are being relaxed inline with the rest of Europe.
This will mean that a barbet can come into the Country at 16 weeks, after he/she has had a rabies vaccination at 3 months, and then the standard 21 day wait.
This really does mean a green light for new barbet bloodlines, which can only be good news for our limited genepool.
Our breed does like most breeds need socialisation from an early age, importing at 11 months old means that a new owner misses those vital months and its hard to expect breeders overseas to give a puppy the one to one attention it needs.
Welcome to my blog about life with my three Barbets ( French water-dog ) Martha, Snoopdogg ,Roobarb and Moby, not forgetting my Bobby, a rescued poodle cross and whichever other dogs are visiting.
