[centrer]Please keep in mind my 2 websites are private and that the results of the research I am doing on the Barbet bloodlines you will find throughout my sites has been compiled by myself and no one else in France.I have been entrusted with information about the breed from Mrs Pêtre and M.Georgii(both Honorary Members of the French Club du Barbet, du Lagotto et autres chiens d'eau) who have opened their archives to people interested in the old bloodlines/ meaning those of the Barbet Français of which Compay II is an example. All the information on my sites is to be shared with you and to help further the Barbet français breed.
And my/ our Sweetie, now confirmed in France and ready to roll: B my Bijou Babe de la serve de la Chapelle d'Alexandre will be mated in spring 2010, in France.
Reservations for the 2 litters are strongly suggested.
All the pups are vaccinated,chipped, registered with the French SCC/LOF; DNA'd. All puppies are socialized and chosen according to your wishes (male/female;companion;shows;hunting). When making a reservation, you are advised not to make any type of deposit until the pups are born.

Bounty and Déclic from Tours, France envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 09/02/2010 @ 08:58
Bounty(a Barbochos de Reiau de Prouvenco, brother to Bibiche), whom we haven't seen in a while is a big mate to Déclic, who is from Coccolina and Booly Wooly's 2008 litter.
Bounty is an available stud (C hips), that not being the only consideration. He is a powerful dog, not too tall carrying nice genes in him. Déclic,right(Don Worry de la serve de la chapelle d'Alexandre) should be confirmed and have his hips done in 2010.
Keep in mind that when working with "old bloodlines" and a rare, very rare breed and the little barbet blood they have, they still have in them,it's very difficult to select dogs...and trying to eliminate the poodle blood, as opposed to adding more.
So the task is not easy and it is not by any stretch of the imagination a "money making business" as some could be inclined to think.
Just because you have a female, and she is nice...finding a male is no easy feat!
In my humble opinion, You want a Barbet because you're interested in helping save the breed from extinction, not because it is a rare breed, to show off. If not, there are other dog breeds with their own characteristics. Please keep that in mind when you are on a loooooooooong waiting list!
Starting almost at the end... envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 08/02/2010 @ 21:55
I have many photos to post, bear with me, please...I'm starting almost at the end with Etuchante, who went today to the Lyon Guide School for the blind, not far from me so I can see him regularly!
Yesterday out on a walk
With Compay in the garden
With his new family until he starts training as guide dog in a few months.
He's a clown? Charlie Brown? envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 07/02/2010 @ 20:09
In Dutch...but I am happy with the film: consolidation of my work. He can walk on a leash, is curious, friendly, playful and has found a wonderful family* to live with. What more can I ask for?

The next and last day together envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 04/02/2010 @ 07:14
The weather was lovely, really a nice day! They stayed outside for a long time and had.......a ball.
All 9 together before they start leaving envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 03/02/2010 @ 07:13
Che and Vincacao's pups are nearly 9 weeks old and will start leaving today.Not a happy day for me, but that's how it goes. This is a group shot of all nine, difficult to keep them in 1 place long enough. The quality of the photo could be better, but for now, it's the best I have!Che has been an extraordinary mother, very helpful to me which always makes me think about what M Georgii said about her great-grand mother, Escribania de Ubrique, " she was a wonderful dog!".
Yippiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie yehyahoo! envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 02/02/2010 @ 12:41

A test of strength on your nerves... envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 02/02/2010 @ 07:54
6 am this morning(same thing happens at 4:30 AM when I have class at 7:30...).Here's the scenario: The 7 go outside on one side of the house. Then, I put the kettle on for tea and rush back to let the little ones out in the garden from and other side of the house. I go see what they have done in their pen in the dining room, because yes, of course they are in the house, separated, but with all of us. So this morning, only pipis in the pipi room. They have now integrated that number 2 is done outside. A major victory.
They're outside and as soon as they see the big ones, they start calling them for attention. So, I rush out with their food...I have neighbors....who are retired and still sleeping. They finish eating and play a bit and want to come in and so they do.
Inside:There's Bijou and Che playing and all the little ones. They, of course are not silent and I have been up for 25 minutes. So yes, you must have strong nerves to raise puppies and of course for all the rest. Which of course, has nothing to do with the dogs, but with humans and the games they play which are less fun than 2 dogs playing together.Or 17.
