There is a type to the Vieux Barbet..

BARBET, Barbets en Bresse, Breed threatened with extinction, Coccolina, Old line from Mrs Pêtre, , ,

Corisande de la serve de la chapelle d’Alexandre.

When you see “key words” that advertise Vieux Barbet and show you pictures of puppies with very curly heads, high ears and a small head..that is misleading advertising. You work for ( or against, yes!) a breed and you have a type in mind. The Vieux Barbet has nothing to do with the many Poodle types you see nowadays here and there and everywhere. Be careful...the Vieux Barbet has a GRIFFON type with a GRIFFON HEAD as the one above..mustache falls straight on both sides of the nose, the head is NOT CURLY or FRIZZY. The body has open curls and a rough coat, not tight frizzy fine hair. AND..last but not least, JUST  because there is a Vieux Barbet in the pedigree means nothing. It is all a question of selection.
