Not many Barbets manage to the ripe old ages of 13.5 months of age for GuyGuy and 14.9 for Coccolina. They both are strong willed and seem to be enjoying life.

What else can you ask for? I am blessed with their company each day that God gives us together.

Once a reflex, always a reflex..Barbet training!

Nalia, her niece..

TiliTili today, nice overall morphology. Very typical of the old line/Vieux Barbet. Lovely character

As you know TiliTili was here last week and I have the video again, where she starred. Many people who have a Barbet today remember this video and it brought back memories..

Eyes clear..

French Lover’s eyes are clear, still on a repeat test.

Nat-King eyes are OK for his first test!

My eye should be better soon..

I found out that my dogs’ eye doctor has been since 1995 when I went with my Poodle Pasta! Amazing..I had forgotten!

A story of love and respect for the Barbet. Mom, dad and daughter.

I enjoy showing adult dogs of the Vieux Barbet type. Deetha is a daughter of Ulysse di Barbochos Reiau de Prouvenco ( U- litter of pure bred Barbets) and Nancy Sinatra from my 2017 litter. A 5th generation litter which is very rare in the Barbet world… and will become rare-r. Sadly so.
