…. He did..because he has strong hunting instinct, BUT a whistle blow and he came back. That is “recall”. Not daddy’s son for nothing!
CONSERVATOIRE DU BARBET
Honestly..pull the wool?
Compay’s privilege
Yesterday it was now and today, rain. Poor guy was so happy to go out! I took a big umbrella to help cover him and we did a short walk, but it did him good. Compay is 13 1/2, so more fragile now.
Look at the birds..a real Barbet does not “chase”!
Compay was growing wings to track a deer..
You will take us if you go out..
Enjoying visitors…we’ve had lots!
Chassez le naturel.
When someone tells you a dog will always hunt. That is not true..a dog that is obedient does not chase birds or anything that moves. They like to smell just like we like to go shopping.
A beautiful tribute..
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.
