Il est bon parfois, voyez-vous, de connaître l’histoire des choses et des bêtes, comme celle des hommes….Jean Castaing 1960. Son histoire en français sur le site Barbet French Treasure, sous "History" with documents that date back to the 1920's
The Authentic Barbet vs the Modern Barbet. Enjoy both stories of what has happened to our Barbet since 1891. Conclusions can be drawn very easily.

Proud Bibiche in Canada: mom envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 01/09/2010 @ 08:22
Bibiche, the hunter we all know and appreciate, di Barbochos Reiau de Prouvenco and Piero della Franceska ( Corte dei Berberi) are now parents to 6 little Barbets: 2 femailes ( brown) 4 males ( 2 bk/2br) Births went extremely well and Bibiche is fine and so are the puppies!

Someone was looking for Anton, Anton is Poppenspaler's Akvavit.Since I am regularly rereading info and trying to understand more than the last time...I started thinking, again.Why? Akvavit is the father of Bohème who had the litter with her son. In that line there is NO SWD...BUT there is real Barbet. Gabbian is his father. Gabbian is from Mme Pêtre. And yes, he goes back, to the 30's...regarless of what anyone says. More births, will of course, prouve these "theories" to be ill-founded and most fallacious. There are Barbets on this earth with Barbet blood. Not all Barbets are a re-mix of other water dogs!The information posted on our national website is scandalous.
Compay and sister Colleen
Compay's daughter Beaudine shown here with Seddie.
Conclusion: There is "Yes" SWD in Compay, but there is not any SWD in Akvavit. They look similar: same morphology, same type curls...so, conclusion? I'd say there are many Barbets on this earth with Barbet blood that look alike and that is to rejoice about.
Ashley is now a mom to 10! Bravo ! envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 30/08/2010 @ 13:59
In the Nethrelands, during the night and this morning, Ashley von der Leibrüke ( Borée di Barbochos Reiau de Prouvenco x Quaciendas Aubey) gave birth to 10 puppies 6 males: 4 brown and 2 black 4 females: 2 brown and 2 black. All of them have more or less white, like mom...pictured below as a puppy! I have always been fond of little Ashely because she reminds me so much of my Coccolina. Proud daddy is Quaciendas Chouffe.
This is Ashley as a puppy!
Photos coming up...

She didn't even give her brother a chance.
Même pas peur....( not even scared)..
Can someone let me know where little one can do the TAN, anywhere in the world in 2010? OR with a club for another breed that does it? Any thoughts?
Double wow. envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 28/08/2010 @ 17:00
In, a few days you'll see him dry.No, he is not in Canada...Can you guess who?
You can guess where, now. He didn't want to wait for the ferry. After all, what did you expect from a Barbet?
This photo certainly brings back memories.
Barbompetent? envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 28/08/2010 @ 09:27
Another neology: Barbet + competent! Barbexpert?
I was recently asked why I let myself be called "dog breeder" ( which I am not) because like many I do have a job. I'm in the Barbet world, by "chance" although the world chance sounding positive, it may not be appropriate. I love the breed and fell into it head over heels.And when that happens, you don't think, now do you?
Of course, had I known...but I am here and to stay regerdless of what "they" do to me.
From the research I have done and documents I have compiled in 10 years, I guess I have become a specialist or expert? At least I feel pretty competent now, wading through all the garbage thrown at us. I am amazed at how many experts of the breed we have running around.
Before you address someone who says they "know", ask how Barbet- competent they are...you may be surprised at the answer after you see the look on their face.
The boomerang effect and competences! envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 28/08/2010 @ 08:58
Now, do not laugh, because it is really sad. If it weren't so sad, you could. Going back to research... Have a good day.
History of the Barbet Moderne envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 27/08/2010 @ 12:17
History as written by the 2 main advocates of the Barbet Moderne. I have not seen anyone else write it. On most sites, or club sites, you will see one version or another depending on what they believe or were told and never furthered the thoughts.
There is French and some English, but I think you can work it out with a good translator. Photos speak for themselves, too. Some are the common ones they have used to promote their breed and others I have found show how it all started. Enjoy!
Then you may want to re-read the version I have put together on our Authentic Barbet, since 1891 with a standard that dates from 1894 for a rustic farm dogs that goes to water, guardsn hunts, retrieves and is also a delightful companion... .... As it was commonly called, a Griffon Barbet....
2 sites looking for the limelight! envoyé par Elaine Fichter le 26/08/2010 @ 22:12
Never before has there been so much competition to post as much information about litters coming or going...or anything happening with the breed. who knows? Something could happen that no one knows about. That could help distract?
One site in France "subsidized" or furnished with information, by our best friend and the other in Switzerland.Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...while they're doing that, one can get on with real work. Showing how lines come from the past. Thanks guys for doing the dirty work.
However, there is still a pup female to be placed at Céline's... A Poppenspaler's, photo coming up!How come no one knows?

Ermengarda/ Coccolina and Nouba LOF8Barb.43/5 Both at 6 months of age.
If I were wrong, I would not have so many ennemies, now would I?
And there are tons more where that came from!And I will continue to prouve that there is an Authentic Barbet...
