This is a W litter - They started out as Greenie, Bluey, Yellie and Orangina! :)
Now - official names: Wembley, Willbury, Waldemar and Waterloo.

With the birth of this litter, our big "Mama-Bon" is now officially retired. She has done herself and her breed proud. Boasting 23 children around North America; 1 Titled Therapy dog, 1 Jr. Hunt Champion, 4 Titled Conformation Champions, many of them Canine Good Neighbours/Citizens, and 19 grand-puppies to date.

Madzia and Ula have been training since the spring of 2011 and has it ever been a learning experience for both of them!! Ula did not want anyone else to train Madzia or handle her because they are attached at the hip and since Ula plans to duck hunt when it is hunting season, she thought it was important for the 2 girls to bond in all aspects.

Ula, we are so PROUD of you, and Madzia, as we are sure you are as well. What a sense of pride to train and handle your own dog. The Barbet has natural instincts for the WC as it is a gun dog.

 Congratulations to you both, and to "The Friendly Barbet" !!! keep up the good work.
(Madzia also has a son, Obie, who earned his WC title earlier this month.) WOW.

Tug is one of the Therapy Dogs that has been nominated to receive this award.

Thanks to Ula Pepper - of The Friendly Barbet and Amelia and Carol, for all their help and support!! Team Effort!

There are many other interested Barbet/owners interested in Dock Dogs and the diving/speed retrieve. Anton jumps (currently has 2 - 4th place novice ribbons), Isis (Treasures Biscay's Sapphire) jumps and soon there will be more.
What a excellent sport for the dogs, hard work and training for the handlers and lots of fun and entertainment to watch!!!

In recent news, we are happy to hear that Finley is also has the distinction of "Big Air Regional Title"

Way to go Finley and Joanne! We are PROUD of you!! :)
