...about the Barbet
'Pronounced `bar bay`, with the `et` on the end as in ballet. The barbet is a medium/large dog with a thick shaggy, curly coat over its whole body..[].. It has a pronounced beard from which its name is derived (`barbe' is the French word for beard). The coat is commonly solid black, solid brown in differing shades or either colour mixed with varying quantities of white.' They can also be cream or grey, but at present these colours are not found
in the UK.
'The Barbet is an active breed which enjoys work and play equally and can be used for a variety of activities where it uses its agility, stamina, sense of smell and intelligence.
The Barbet becomes very attached/devoted to its owners and makes an excellent companion, and will want to be wherever you are in the house. Being an intelligent dog, the Barbet enjoys being stimulated although this also means it becomes bored if left for long periods on its own. As with any intelligent breed a certain amount of training and discipline is essential but the effort is well rewarded.'
'The Barbet is an even tempered dog and is not aggressive or shy with other people or dogs. It is very good with children and makes an excellent family pet although adolescent dogs can be too boisterous for very small children or toddlers.'
Its non-moulting coat makes it a worthwhile consideration for allergy sufferers. It should be noted however, that dog hair is not the only cause of dog allergies in humans and time should be spent in the company of a Barbet to determine an individual’s degree of reaction. (www.barbet.org.uk)
