So our life went from busy to complete madness as our first new arrival was Roobarb ( Trufallie Cashew) , she is from a lovely breeding by my friend Nikki who has made history as this is the first UK litter born that will be registered at the Kennel Club.

A month later we had another arrival and sweet Moby appeared in the middle of the night rather stressed out as he had been on a journey over a couple of days from Poland. He settled very quickly and is delightful  with his command of English getting better daily.

Having 2 puppies is not only hard work but also very time consuming as it is important to treat them as individuals but as I have now given up work I have all the time it needs.

Barbet puppy news abroad

More exciting news with puppies arriving mid July is that Martha's son  Charlie (Novaforesta New Start )  will become a father and the lucky girl is Fair ( Poppenspaler's Nobles Fair). This litter will be born in the Netherlands so very pleased that the genes of this wonderful male will be travelling and making a difference not just to the UK but to the wider Barbet community.

Barbet puppies July 2019

I am so happy to announce that Boris (Novaforesta James Brown) will become a father at the end of July. He is a super dog in every way, and passed his health tests for breeding with excellent results.  Awelymor Maelee avec Muddiwax is the lucky girl.  I can't wait to see the puppies and watch them grow and hope to be able to share some photos with you when the time comes. Fingers crossed for their safe arrival first..

Barbet puppy plans

Snoopdogg will be having a litter this year, and I will post a photo later of her chosen  man with some more details. She is definitely ready for this new chapter in her life, and she has been a wonderful girl taking our two new pups under her wing.

 A sad week as the puppies are leaving to start their new lives with their new families. I will miss them all . I will be filling my spare time grooming my dogs although they dont know it yet. As I type I have 5 puppies at my feet or wrapped round my computer chair so I dare not move, always a happy barbet if at your feet. I will be posting some fun pics later.

I have had a better week with Martha, although she is still off chicken!, but we have got her back on raw meat with no dire consequences. The pups have also developed a taste for raw chicken and goats milk and are on breakfast and evening meal at the moment, this is a messy time but at least Snoop is now helping out and Martha is very tolerant of the constant cleaning by Snoop!. Martha has been more relaxed over the other dogs being near her pups this time, but is just starting to show signs over being rather obsessed over keeping the pen clean, so we will wait and see although luckily I am allowed to clean up, just not visitors but maybe she just has good manners :).
Another milestone is that the pups are out of the whelping box and into a pen with a soft crate, which has also meant that they are not peeing in the crate which is a bonus. A couple of pups have been out in the garden already as it is warm today, so this week another pen will be under construction as love the pups outside in the fresh air. I am still catching up on emails, I almost feel as though I have been away for 4 weeks as I havent even opened all my post!. One of my next jobs is names.....it is the letter 'N' in France for registration so watch this space.    

Martha and Murdoch puppies have arrived

After so much disappointment over the last year or so I am thrilled to announce the safe arrival of Marthas' second litter. A miracle litter as the Father is a Canadian resident !

So welcome to the world the offspring of 

 Reeds Fowling Alexia ( Martha ) and  Gr Ch Ex Flacon D'Paris of Neigenuveaux CGN ( Murdoch)

It has been such a journey and the help from Florence Erwin , the breeder of Murdoch has just been amazing, not forgetting the help from her vet and of course a wonderful company in the UK, 

  fit and fertile

The puppies were due on Monday the 6th June, but decided that a Friday was a better Birthday so 6 strong healthy pups arrived between  7.30pm and 9pm, Sadly we have one puppy born stillborn at 10pm and then a late arrival of a healthy puppy at 11.30. So our grand total was 7 puppies, 4 males and 3 females.

We did have a few hiccups as Martha was slow to produce milk but all is well now and pups are close to doubling their birth weight.

So let me introduce them at 1 week old.

Barbet puppy plans 2017

Fingers crossed for the lovely Martha as the 'mating' went as planned, so I hope that I will have some exciting news that it has worked in early May.

The excitement continues...

Netis Jitterbug aka Pi will be mated this week to the lovely boy Novaforesta Eton. So I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for a nice productive easy mating.

Novaforesta Litter news

We are patiently waiting for Pi (Netis Jitterbug) to come into season, but found this photo today of Novaforesta Eton the chosen husband. Those that have met Martha, this is her Uncle and yes he has the same sweet nature.

Happy 6th Birthday to the 'E' litter

Happy 6th Birthday to the 6 puppies born on the 30th November 2009 to Bacchus di Barbochos Reiau de Prouvenco and Betsy Bonheur de la Baie des Landes.

The puppies are celebrating their 6th Birthday on a very cold and windy day.but I am sure they will be treated with a lovely walk and plenty of cuddles 

Happy 7th Birthday to the 'D' litter from Bepop x Caya

 Be-Poppy x Caya de la Serve de la Chapelle d'Alexandre had 12 beautiful puppies on 29th November 2008.

These pups have now reached 7 years old and I hope they all had special Birthday treats

Novaforesta Lydia Broom at 7 weeks old

Lydia Broom soon to be called Tove, she is a lively little madam that has struck up a real friendship with Pi. During the evening it is the job of Pi to wear out the puppies before bed, and she does the job well. Tove and Pi play rolling games across the floor and you never hear a squeak from Tove even though it looks rather rough. She is still very like Lenten Rose, but Tove has her coat growing in two lines down her back so I can tell but with photos it is almost impossible, these two girls are like twins
