Our Story
Two paths that crossed in 2009 and have been one ever since. The timeline reads backwards from top to bottom: the most recent milestone comes first, and where it all begins is at the very bottom.

Looking for a dog of my own
I am looking for a dog of my own, and it has to be a water dog. After many refusals I am invited to meet Barbet breeders and make it onto a waiting list.

Walking the neighbours' dogs
Whenever I am allowed to, I walk the neighbours' dogs. The older I get, the more dogs I am trusted to look after.
A dog, for as long as I can remember
Even as a small child I want a dog, and I keep drawing one.
