By Amy Fernandez Well, there’s good news and bad news. The good news is that with Westminster week moved to next summer, we’ve got almost half a year to dream up a new workaround for that time-honored tradition of flying dogs for free. Which brings me right to the bad news…the inevitable was announced on [...]

I have been showing dogs for over 40 years. My mom and I bred Old English Sheepdogs. Later, I became involved with Bichon Frise while still in the Miscellaneous Class and continued with them once they became members of the Non-Sporting group. While living in New York I judged several all breed AKC-sanctioned Match shows. I had been showing Bulldogs for 20 years when I read an article in the Wall Street Journal about Barbet and knew it was the perfect breed for me! It is an honor and pleasure to be a part of the Barbet community.
