Angel loves Beanz xx

Cima proving that she's not just a show dog, she's a pretty good teddy catcher too :o)

Ena, Ebene and Reba cooling under the fan.

Blossom

Blossom is going though that 'leggy' stage at the moment - this is her favourite position and I don't know how she can be comfortable like this :o)  She's still as bright as ever and loves to swim so hopefully she'll be doing the Gundog bit as she gets older.  I can't believe that I'm starting to put the entries in for a few shows already.  Her first show is on 22nd September which is also my birthday and is held fairly locally to me in Havant.    This was also Cenzos (her dad) first show as a pup - hope she does half as good as he did as he got Best Puppy in Show!!

The Game Fair

All went well with camping at the Game Fair (we are all still doing our best to forget the campsite toilets) with all the dogs behaving impeccably and most of the humans did too :o)

Luckily the campsite was set on top of a hill and at the edge of a wooded area with lots of shade so we were all pretty comfortable but the actually Game Fair was down in a dip and as soon as we got down there it was as hot as h.......!  It was really well organised with water stand pipes everywhere to wet the dogs down so they didn't fair too badly, it was us humans that suffered the most.

We all did our stints on the Barbet Club stand and there was a lot of interest in the breed from people wanting to know more about them.

If you would like to hear more then go to the Awelymore website and Claude Barbet has written about the experience from his prospective - its VERY funny and well worth a read.

Heres some pictures for you:

CLA Game Fair

Well I'm off to the CLA Game Fair tomorrow until Sunday held at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire to help with the 'manning' of the Barbet exhibit along with several other members of the Barbet Club of Great Britain.  I am really looking forward to meeting up with everyone for a weekend full of fun - Karen is kindly letting me bunk in her tent with Ebene so I apologise in advance to Roger, her other half for our behaviour after we've had a couple of glasses of wine in the evening :o)   With the weather like it is at the moment it will be like being in France again - lots of laughs!!!

Of course we will be hopefully introducing lots of people to Barbets during the day - if anyone is planning on going please come and say hello to us all.

Pictures to follow next week ....

Recent Pics of the Barbet litter

GiGi whose best friend is a St. Bernard :o)

Claude

Thought you might like to see a picture of Claude now hes a year old.  He has grown well and is still loving his gun dog training.  He went on a small local shoot recently and was quite the star apparently :o)    His coat is quite short here as he has had a good trim back to keep him cooler in this hot weather.

More Birthday Wishes

Happy 5th Birthday to the 8 boys and girls in the Netis Groove 'n' Boogie litter.

Cima had a double celebration after she gained her 5th CC at East of England Show under breed specialist Barbara Abbishaw (Hastabbi) earlier this month :o)

So big hugs and slobbery kisses are winging their way to all of them, both here and abroad, from all of us here especially from their Mum and Dad, Lacey and Cenzo xxxx
