It has been nearly 2 years since GuyGuy had been swimming and this was totally unplanned. Heis reflexes were tip-top, my GuyGuy.After all when you do it at 8 weeks, it’s forever!

He was ready to retrieve, with his grand-daughter Duna and nephew Nat-King

I did not want him to swim off since I was worried he would be disoriented in the water and get lost.He had a ball..Look at that straight back! What a delight!

Ploughing right along: cara Coccolina

My greatest achievement? Coccolina has now reached the 1500 mark of pedigrees she is in. She has been a MAJOR contributor to the type, character, health of about 1/3 of the Barbet world*. No small feat. She is the only Barbet in France to have reached the 5/6 level of the SCC selection grid. I am very lucky and blessed.

  • *I’d mention color, but I do not breed for color, nor do I sell for color..

Barbet birthday : GuyGuy turns 12

After being ill for nearly a year, I can say that we have now gotten rid of the FLoiseau/Batterikullens curse. GuyGuy is now all new and enjoying life and back to being his normal happy self. He is stronger than the rumours that he was hit with for many years and has showed his will and determination. He has many descendants, all healthy and we have come a long way from the many issues at Thelma’s breeder’s.

A birthday hug that reaches out to his beloved sister in Finland and of course his other brothers who have not sadly, kept in touch.

We celebrated with liver/beef cake and cookies..everyone was happy!
