Barbet Puppy Colorado (now Summit) is in South Carolina
Last week several puppies headed off to their families. One, Colorado (now Summit), is in South Carolina and already starting to bird!
We’re so proud of her. We’re also ecstatic some families in America are starting to train the Barbet to flush as that’s what their original purpose was– not being a couch potato!
A great resource to begin training a Barbet in retrieving: http://www.barbetchasseurfrancais.info/training.html

First three Barbet puppies off to their American homes
Yesterday we sent off Corsica (now Athena), Corbin (name tbd), and Cali (name staying Cali!) to their respective homes. Athena traveled the furthest to Colorado and according to her owner was a great little traveler.
Here is Athena snoozing away in her new home:
Meanwhile, Cali got her first bath in Louisville, KY:

Barbet in America: Cleo’s puppies are 8 weeks old
Time always passes too quickly when raising Barbet puppies. It feels like yesterday these beauties were born on Thanksgiving… now they are 8 weeks old and will slowly begin to make their way to their new families. Luckily, the families will slow trickle this way these next 3-4 weeks. The Barbet puppies will go every where from Colorado to Louisiana to Brooklyn. Walter and I are thrilled to be able to bring joy to the 11 new families, but are also sad to see them go. Luckily, we have Cleo, Isis, Cinna, and Lia ready to take any attention.
Before they all go, I had to attempt a photo of all of our Barbet puppies together one last time.

Congrats to Uncle Tug!!!
Congrats to “Uncle” Tug for finishing his championship at the 2011 Elora Gorge show in Kitchener, Ontario. Below is his CKC champ photo with Judge Wendy Schiraa, handler Amelia Ballak, and of course Tug!
Our Barbet puppies are 6 weeks old now
After photographing artisan marshmallows for 240sweet.com, I completed my puppies 6 week old portraits on a plain studio backdrop. You can see them really transforming into wee Barbet dogs. We’re not sure how we’ll be able to let all of these pups go soon, but our hand picked families are all excited as are we for these Barbet puppies to begin their new lives.

60 degree day: Time to bring the Barbet puppies outside and play!
What a weird winter it’s been. I’m not complaining, as this California girl MUCH prefers warmth to cold and ice, but today is the 6th of January and it’s 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Capitalizing on the warmth, we’ve been taking the pups out as much as we can to start potting training and prep them for their new homes.
