I was perusing some Barbet blogs and I came across one of my favorite’s: The Friendly Barbet. They posted a great post on Satine’s first dog show which coincidentally was Cinna’s first CKC dog show as well. He had been shown once in France at the Bourg en Bresse show in February 2008.
Thanks so much to Chris and Ula for posting this video. They are doing a phenomenal job up north with their Nappyroots Kennel. Not to mention all the work they’ve done in getting all their beautiful Barbet confirmed and championed in Canada. I hope they’ll rub off some of their hard earned wisdom on us Americans who have much to learn when it comes to showing Barbet!
Another huge shout (or woof?) to Amy Ballak who is a champ handler and also who I named Amelia (lia) after. You can see her in the video handling Mr. Cinna. She has done so much in showing him in the CKC and I’m forever grateful. One of these days I’ll have to get my scared butt in the ring and hopefully Amy can help guide me. You can see me of course behind the camera in the corner
