Those of you who read this and know me disgregard this post. For those just coming across the Barbet through the wonderful world wide web hello! My name is Stacy and I’ve been involved with the Barbet since 2006. We’ve had two litters of Barbet and hope to have more in the future. American Barbet was created to share news of Barbet in America. I’m a photographer (www.stacyable.com) so often there are no photos of me WITH my barbet. The other night, I had my trusty husband, Walter take some quick shots in the setting sun with Lia and Isis. Fun fact: I birthed Lia in 2009 and she has me wrapped around her white paw.

Ashley von der Leibrücke and Quaciendas Chouffe are expecting a litter at the end of August!
Walda and Henk have been fortunate to have the Barbet with the white and black markings. Perhaps there will be another in this litter making in 3 in a row which the from the long line of Barbochos Reiau de Prouvenco. Wish it wasn’t so far away as I’d love to see those babies and photograph them of course. Maybe one day soon in the future!

David Dalton is a well known animal photographer in Europe. He has photographed several Barbet owner’s dogs and this time he visited the Von der Leibrücke Kennel to get some AMAZING shots of Walda and Henk’s Barbet beauties.
One day I hope to have a Walda puppy of my own. For now I will live through her beautiful photos.
Walda and Henk raise Rottweiler’s too check out this beauty:

My 10 month old Barbet, Isis took the BIG plunge! We took her out to a lake this past Saturday and although the water was a bit choppy, Isis still managed to jump 2 times after her frisbee. I can not wait to keep working on her (and Lia) on this as it is amazing to see the retrieving instincts taking over all logic. Her ability to leap off a dock to retrieve a frisbee made Walter and I leap, clap, whistle, and do a happy dance. We need to build her confidence in swimming hence the pink polka dot life vest. I do not doubt her strong ability to swim but I fear with all the waves (there were ALOT of boats on saturday) that I wanted to ensure her safety. Yes I’m a paranoid “mom.”
Here we go!!!!
Splash all over chihuahua lola!!!

Chris and Ula (thefriendlybarbet.com) just welcomed home Frankie, to their beautiful Barbet family in Canada. Her full name is Frankly Scarlet de la Serve de la Chapelle D’Alexandre and she was bred by Elaine in France (http://chiensdeau.free.fr/BarbetenBresse/)
Via Ula: “Everything went great with my trip to France to meet and greet the new girl to add to our Barbet family. The flight home was smooth gliding and couldn’t have gone any better at the Toronto airport. Our warmest regards to Elaine Fichter, the wonderful breeder of our new pup and Brigitte Raoux the amazing lady whom took care of Frankie and trained her to be the wonderful dog she is today!!! ….Our baby girl is already obediently trained, a swimmer and retriever in the water….”

Finley, owned by the Barbet Fanciers Club of America VP (barbetfanciers.com) is quite the character. Joanne has been diligent in training, grooming, and socializing him. Now she has ventured Finley into Dock Diving. I can’t wait until Joanne’s article about dock diving as she’s come so far with Finley in such a short time. It is so great to see the Barbet being active in America. In europe it seems everytime you turn around a Barbet is diving, jumping, hunting, and leaping into some great dog activity. Anne in the Netherlands said there were even dog beaches. I can not explain how great it is to see some of these activities being done here in America by Barbet.
Here is Finley taking the big leap:

On the west coast there are 6 known Barbet. One, Cody, is my grand puppy and I am so proud of him. His owner, Tricia, keeps me updated frequently and is the Barbet West Coast Liaison. Every person who wishes to have a Barbet I would highly recommend they take the time to connect with a Barbet in their area or when they travel. A couple of weeks ago Tricia took Cody to meet with Tamara, a future Barbet owner. The report I received from Tamara was priceless which I will share below:
Hi Stacy,
I just wanted to let you know that Tricia did bring Cody to meet me (and it turned out that my husband, his salesman, Jerry, and my son wanted to come too). It was so sweet of Tricia to be willing to do that, and Cody made a huge impression. Jerry was captivated and took photos to send to his wife. He said they were both smitten. I told him if they get a Barbet I get visitation since I introduced them to the idea!!
Cody was a love. You can be very proud. I asked Tricia if I could take him for a little walk by myself. I wanted to see if he would “work” for me, and how he was about leaving Tricia. He passed with flying colors. He responded promptly to my commands, and yet kept checking to make sure “mom” was still around. Then Tricia and I took him for a walk with me holding the leash. He was a pleasure to walk. Not pulling or being hyper at all. I was pleased to see that he was captivated by birds. I am big on dogs having function and I hate to see it bred out of them. When we returned, and stood and chatted, Cody just laid down and waited politely. What a nice dog!! I can definitely see a Barbet in my future. Right now I don’t have a spot, as 5 dogs is pretty much my max in the house, but when a spot opens I will be back in touch.
Thanks ever so much for putting me in touch with Tricia.
Tamara

Good thing my husband doesn’t regularly check this blog (if at all) as he HATES his photo taken and loathes it even more when I post them.
It’s sunday so that means I’m editing photos like crazy trying to catch up and my husband is working, playing video games, watching tv, and catching up with a barbet. Here you can see Lia’s favorite Sunday position.
Happy Sunday!!

The Barbet come in many colors. If you look at the old photos and paintings of the Barbet you’ll see many of them were parti colors (mostly white with large black spots), brown, and so forth.
My first experiences with barbet were with predominately black colored pooches. As I further delved into the water dog world I found there were so many more colors and not to mention old blood lines to pursue. In my home, I’m fortunate to have a couple color variations with I feel is great for my breeding program and America.
Here is a photo of 
three of my five Barbet. Notice the rich black color of Isis which still has a red tone, then the maroon/mahogany brown of Cleo, and last but not least the fawn beigey red of Lia my puppy with the white paw. Of course there’s my the redhead of the group 
I’ll be out of town for a week so if there is internet in my destination I’ll blog some more but if not hope you all have a great week!
