A perfect example of a Barbet Moderne: epitomy of a show dog.
A groomer’s perfect specimen. Severeal hours of weekly grooming. This is the new breed. They are very easy to find!
History is not just dust: Vieux Griffon Barbet
On the left: Nat-King de la serve de la chapelle d’Alexandre, 2020. He is my 5th generation of Barbets, en Bresse. On the right: Joyeuse ( Barbochos Reiau de Prouvenco)1975.If you look closely, same type, same hair growth pattern. I am into inventing breeds..but saving what can be saved.
Compay and his “steroids” shot.
Compay has severe arthrosis in his back legs. He has been taking Optijoint for almost 3 months. It’s starting to help. So the shot was to help boost his muscles..
Froggy’s tooth ..all better.
It was nasty and infected. So, it was pulled: antibiotics and he was all better..ageing dogs have their aches and pains.
Vennie all better..
It’s a nasty scar, but we have managed..
Garden help or moral support?
A Coccolina legacy: 15 years of selection under one roof.
I make my dogs with the old breed in mind, only. I do not place dogs to use them later. I work with my breeding stock. That is a Coccolina legacy. When it is over, well..it will be over.
Coccolina: December 7, 2004 – October 30, 2020.
