I know, but they ARE just sooooooooo cute. Look at those heads!
December 2014
A Christmas gift from Finland…Lapland?
The stamps say Finland, could it be from Santa Claus ?
Hum…Thank you! It’s nice to know Santa Claus knows who we are and where we live!
How’s that for a color palette?
This is a lovely way to show what our Barbets look like…the only color missing is the white and black. Happy for those who have them, they are lovely too!
A family affair
*”Type on any search engine and you will see Barbets en Bresse,” faithful to you since 2006 in the web and for many more years to come! Merry Christmas to all!
* I did not say that, ever, and I would never be so pretentious. This was said by someone else who me veut que du bien, as usual in France...when telling a certain group of people to get off their rear and work a bit for the breed Barbet. Back in 2011. So, we waited and waited and grew spiderwebs and nothing happened in 2012, or 2013 and even less ( if that is even possible) in 2014. Soooooooooo, for lack of any results, we’re back in the ring. Not the show ring, that’s for the glorioles, looking for praise and self praising their own achievements, but in the history ring. Much more interesting along with more BICP’s coming in 2015 where dogs have a great time doing what they do best.
My Dutch girls…
Pretty Vennie and Iabada…badoo!
How fast can a Barbet run?
That…depends! The Barbet is a powerful, strong dog. He exists to fulfill a task and that was and is retrieving and waterwork. A good working dog is never, never hi-strung or nervous nor is he lymphatic…he is calm and steady and extremely obedient always looking to please. Shown here French Lover, aka Froggy who is awesome looking when he runs and I am so pleased to have captured “the moment”.
J’ai 2 z’amours…
Keeping track: mating in the UK
This time, it’s Duplo who has been mated with a lovely brown female, Distel. Duplo is Dudley’s brother and, don’t say it…
More Coccolina descendants: plus 7
http://www.barbetvomzulimo.com/o-wurf-dezember-2014.php
This litter above shows rather big pups born, so perhaps very few Coccolina types?
That makes 495 descendants for Coccolina, might that be 20% of all Barbets alive, and healthy?! and coming up as a recap:
Compay x Didi ( Netherlands) in January 2015
Duplo x Distel ( Netherlands) in February if all goes well
Ela Samba x Nuphars everything’s zen ( Switzerland) if all goes well, in February!
Another Coccolina year!
Compay and Ela Samba are both de la serve de la chapelle d’Alexandre, born here in Bresse.
Don’t want to brag about Barbet beauties…
..however a little brag, not in my habits!
