If you look closely, there are many birds enjoying their meal in the forthytia tree. They are not at all bothered by the dogs who respect them. A bird dog does not chase or pose a threat to birds..

Barbet and rabbit..
Nancy Sinatra de la serve de la chapelle d’Alexandre..likes all creatures!
Ask me how proud I am?!
1974..a Vieux Barbet par excellence.
These 2 beauties are descendants of my French Lover de la serve de la chapelle d’Alexandre..and Giorgia della Corte dei Berberi in Italy. A very close cooperation since 2005. It takes time but it pays off. Vive le Vieux Barbet...in remembrance of The work of Mrs Hélène Pêtre and Mr Rainier T Georgii.
There are approximately 180 Barbet breeders in the world. 4/5 are Vieux Barbet breeders. It’s not a money making endeavour..Please do not think you will find one so easily.
Barbet Moderne breeders are a dime a dozen and their production is to sell dogs.

Survival of the fittest
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.
The one I missed
My telephone was not far and I was able to capture a memorable shot. My wish that will not come true was mating GuyGuy with Iabada…We tried and it did not work. So be it. They really like each other..I can see it all the time. He has wonderful genes.
Video souvenir: TiliTili then and now!
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..
Morning walk..
Coccolina and GuyGuy enjoying the cooler morning air!
Happy Midsommar…
