Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Barbet is a medium-sized breed that can be any one of four different colors (black, brown, fawn, or gray) in its woolly, curly coat. They are popular as hunting and retrieving dogs because to their outgoing personalities. The history of barbets can be traced back to 16th century France. The French aristocracy favored them because of their proficiency in waterfowl hunting and the ease with which they could swim and retrieve game. As the 20th century began, interest in the breed waned, and by the turn of the century, they were all but extinct. However, breed advocates worked hard to bring the Barbet back from the brink, and now it is once again a thriving breed. Barbets are very trainable canines that benefit greatly from daily walks and play dates with other dogs. They are gentle with kids and make wonderful companions for families. Their natural prey drive, however, may make them unsuitable for households with rodents or other small animals. The Barbet, as a breed, is one of a kind and extremely endearing, and it never fails to win the hearts of those who meet it.
