BBQ

On 10th September we hosted a BBQ for the Barbet Club of Great Britain.  We had a brilliant turn out of people from all over the country accompanied by their Barbets.  I think that there was about 30 dogs in all including lots of puppies from the 2 litters that were born in UK this year.   They all had a fabulous time together as did all us humans :o)   We had a short meeting in the morning where we discussed the KC recognition, show dates in France for next year and arranging a visit to Wales for a weekend of training for the TAN among other things.   We were lucky enough to have John Daniels (animal photographer) attend and he took some great pictures under difficult circumstances - try keeping 30 plus dogs still for longer than a nano second :o)
Wendy did a grooming demonstration in the afternoon and I'm sure that several people came away with lots of tips.
As an added bonus, the event raised around £70 which has been used to start off the welfare fund - great result!!
Hopefully this will become an annual event so we can catch up with everyone and see the progress of the puppies.

There will be a full write up on the days events posted on the Barbet Club of Great Britains website with more pictures.
