Anyone who is interested in dogs and wants to further their knowledge, then there are now courses being run online, there is even one that will be tailormade for the Barbet.

Barbet pedigree dogs

I am always happy when the paperwork arrives, and even happier when it is all correct and I can send it on to the owners of my pups. So my last litter with Bepop and Jedi are now all official.  

Obi Barbet puppy is growing up



Once known as red collar, now he is known only as Obi. Bepop and Jedis' pups are nearly 6 months old already, where does the time go?

Agrippine the Barbet RIP

At 11 years old Agrippine the Barbet has joined another world, hopefully full of cats and rabbits that she can chase forever. This lovely dog was Bepops Mum, and the photo is of her before her first haircut. Bepop is very like her Mother I think, and my thoughts are with the family of Agrippine as they have such a presence in your life that they leave a terrible void.

Barbet dogs, and ponds

The dogs are completely fascinated by the fish, I fear it is only a matter of time before someone takes the plunge. The fish went in late last night, so it is early days.
Martha was playing it cool this morning as she had found a stick that was more interesting than the fish so I had thought.
