Cinna loves to catch air on car rides. This video is a bit rough but you’ll get the idea. When you have a dog do this you have to be careful to lock the window so they don’t push it down further as they may get so many good smells they’ll want to jump OUT of the car.
Barbet Cinna’s Studio Debut
Written by stacy able on February 1st, 2010To those who know me, I am a wedding photographer based in Indiana. Besides photography, I harbor a deep love for the Barbet. I’ve been fortunate to be able to do more pet photography which I adore as pets have such expressions, energy, and emotion that can be captured on film.
Awhile ago I was setting up a shoot for a Yorkie named Chanel and Cinna was watching me and wagging his tail as usual. To prep for the session I put him in the “set” and took some quick shots. He was happy as ever to oblige and I’m thrilled with his photos as always!
It’s in the Barbet Eyes…
Written by stacy able on January 26th, 2010If you’ve ever seen a Barbet you’ll instantly get sucked into them by their GORGEOUS eyes. They have these deep brown to honey colored eyes that are stunning. As puppies they start out blind and deaf for 2 weeks then their eyes open to this luxurious blue color. They then turn to a green color and lastly to a light or dark brown pending their eye color genetics.
Here are some photo of Barbet eyes: Cleo, Dyna, and Isis
Barbet Cody Romping in the Waves
Written by stacy able on January 25th, 2010Cody’s 1st birthday was earlier this month and to celebrate I’m posting some recent photos of him crashing in the waves. You can tell that he really enjoys romping on the beaches of California. He looks so much like his Dad Cinna! Happy Birthday my gorgeous grandpup!
Barbet Lia with puppy Isis
Written by stacy able on January 24th, 2010Barbet Lia, who just turned 1, is seen here in the Indiana snow with her trainee Isis. Much to Lia’s dismay, Isis loves to follow Lia during fetch. Isis is really picking up on frisbee while Cleo is having a blast following Belle. They all have the most amazing time in the snow. I can not wait until the next flakes fall as it’s less muddy for one but the pack love to roll, fetch, and “frap” (frantic running and playing) while in the cold stuff.
A fun fact about Barbet tails since you can see it in the photo below.. often when Barbet are happy or interested in something their tails will be held up high. The standard is a crochet hook it long and curved with a slight hook at the end often to be held low/straight behind the body. You can see in Lia and Isis that they are having a blast so their tails are held up higher than normal.
Metropolitan Tug
Written by stacy able on January 20th, 2010Check out Tug! He is one suave, debonair, metropolitan Barbet! I love how you can see the sky line behind this handsome boy. He’s a lucky pup to go on trots near one of the most gorgeous skylines around.

The Many Barbet faces of Finley
Written by stacy able on January 18th, 2010Finley, a Barbet living in New York, is a goofy guy. He could be a comedian if he could tell jokes but instead his expressions and antics can be told through his human mediator on the Finley, “The Black Pearl” Barbet Blog.
Since I’m not much of a writer, I’ll post the many faces of Finley through photos.
Barbet in Indiana Snow
Written by stacy able on January 15th, 2010There was a 7 inch snow fall that blanketed Indiana in early January. Well that meant snow frisbee here in hoosier-ville. All of our Barbet had a blast chasing the pink frisbee along with each other. Barbet LOVE snow. We’ve noticed when Barbet get to romp in the tiny flakes they are awash with energy and joy. They’ll shove their muzzles into the powder and eat up the cold frozen drops.
While they play fetch, they’ll dive into the snow to snatch the frisbee all the while creating a whirlwind of powder and paws. They also enjoy to play snow-bet football as one will get the toy and the others will chase, dodge, and lunge for the frisbee. Eventually someone brings it back for the process to begin again. After 30 minutes of play, snow-dreads will form which will thaw out easily once the Barbet return inside.
