Barbet puppies born in America: Midwest Pet Photography

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

This Thanksgiving we had a litter of 11 Barbet puppies. The Barbet, a  rare breed from France, is one of my other passions as well as all things French now (Macaron, baguette, etc). Since then, we’ve fallen in love with the breed. If you want to read more about the breed as well as see photos I’ve taken of Barbet check out Americanbarbet.com.

In the mean time, here is a photo of all 11 Barbet puppies before they start to head off to their new homes which span from Louisanna, Colorado, to Brooklyn, NY.

Dog days of summer: Barbet (french water dogs) on film

Friday, July 30th, 2010

It’s summer time yet again and the dogs and I are loving it. Frisbees are flying, the garden is growing, and gelato is being made weekly. While we are cooking out, I often snap a couple shots of our Barbet (french water dogs) basking in the summer sunset glow. All of these photos were taken with my Contax 645, a 120/220 film camera. I’ll have a longer post on that subject soon.

Barbet and Portuguese Water Dog: Indiana Dog Photography

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

What you may not know about me– especially if you are a new client or haven’t been over to my house, is that I am a HUGE dog lover. On our 11 acre wooded bliss near Brown County/Nashville, Indiana we have 6 dogs which ironically one, Belle, came with the house. At Clemson, I obtained Lola, a 7 pound spit fire of a chihuahua. Then I met Walter’s dog, a Barbet which is a French Water Dog and fell in love. You can learn all about them at American Barbet.

We had our first litter of Barbet puppies in 2007 which spurred me on to get one from France in 2008 then we had another litter in 2009. From that I kept one, Amelia (or Lia) for short, got two from Canada, and rescued another.

One of our Barbet, Dynastie (aka Dyna) we gave to my sister in law in the DC area. While my sister in law took the kids on spring break, I came out and babysit Dyna. Two houses down lives Prince, a peppy Portuguese Water dog. Dyna and Prince have become best of friends and they both love to hop in and out of Nancy’s little pond.

Here are some photos of the dynamic water dog duo having a blast in Nancy’s gorgeous backyard.
