Caring for a Barbet

Health

A relatively healthy breed overall; hip dysplasia and some eye conditions can occur, worth screening for given the breed's small gene pool.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's active, outdoorsy lifestyle.

Grooming

The long, curly, continuously growing coat needs regular trimming and grooming to prevent matting — a genuine ongoing commitment.

Training

Friendly and intelligent, Barbets train well with positive reinforcement and love water-based activity given the breed's retrieving background.

About the breed

A rare, ancient French water dog dating back to at least the 16th century (Barbet appear in period artwork), bred to retrieve waterfowl and named for the French word for "beard," a nod to the breed's shaggy facial hair.

Friendly, curly-coated, and versatile, Barbets have taken on roles as therapy and search-and-rescue dogs alongside their original hunting work, and are known for a moderate, non-excessive bark.
