Basic Description: The story of the Barbet is long and impressive. References to the breed are throughout history, doing various jobs, with
various historical lineage, yet always referenced with respect and admiration. After so many centuries of serving man in so many capacities, the
Barbet is not a common nor well known breed. The victim of the vagaries of the history, he helped shape, the Barbet was nearly extinct after WW1.
Through the efforts of a very devoted few, this old breed is slowly being reborn as a dog for the future.
The Barbet is a French water dog and the breeds name "Barbet" comes from the French word barbe, which means beard. The Barbet's jobs,
though many mostly consist of hunting, for example wild fowl. It is said that the French royals have been hunting with Barbets for all time. The
Barbet has also been working as sailor's assistants, much like the Portuguese Water Dog.
