We are based in the New Forest in Hampshire and so have plenty of opportunities to show my four Barbets in beautiful open countryside. The Barbet is an old retrieving gundog with ancient roots in France and has been involved in the making of several dog breeds that we know very well today such as the Briard, poodle, and Korthals Griffon, .Although low in numbers worldwide, the majority of breeders are dedicated to preserving the breed and are very aware of the importance of health testing, and low inbreeding ratios
