Barbet_haireyesThe Barbet needs to have hair over the eyes, so he cannot see…in order to protect him from the reeds in water ( I guess they jump out at him?!) and also to protect him from thorns…I never knew there were thorns in water. Working on my learning curve…Iabada_Barbet_reedAs you see..they don’t need to have their eyes covered to protect them, but their body.Perhaps some overalls ought to do it…for a rustic  dog…?The things you hear sometimes, do make you wonder.

Baltic champion, too!

Barbet_watchJust because it is said that the Barbet retrieves..does not mean it is at all allowed to chase birds….that is forbidden.

They have a mission, but they are to be respectul of other creatures!This is Iabada, wathching birds go by and feeding!
