About

The Barbet

The purebred, FCI-recognized Barbet is a friendly French water dog first bred to retrieve birds from water. It has a curly, woolly coat that protects it from cold and wet weather, and webbed feet that make it a great swimmer. Barbets are smart, gentle, and easy to train, good both for work and as family pets.

They usually are about 53–65 cm (21–26 in) tall and weigh 20–30 kg (45–65 lb). Their coats can be black, brown, or fawn, often with more or less white. This breed is known for being loyal, playful, and always full of joyful energy.

In Loving Memory

Bowen de l’Ile Romande aka BOWEN

16th of April 2008 – 23rd of October 2020

Bowen was our first dog and the one who started it all. With his kind nature, intelligence, and joyful spirit, he inspired our deep love for dogs and the life we live with them today. His spirit continues to be a part of everything we do for the Barbet breed.

Nuphar’s Moments In The Moonlight aka MALOU

27th of December 2013 – 25th of May 2023

Malou showed us the meaning of true working drive. She loved to work, always eager to please and very obedient. Her dedication and focus inspired us and taught us about the Barbet’s remarkable working ability, deepening our understanding of the breed’s character.
