After many years of sharing our Barbet news and writing about the growth and development of our Barbet puppies we retired the blog at the end of 2020. All of the past entries remain posted so feel free to take a look around and scroll through previous posts to get a feel for the breed, our dogs and how we raise our litters. More information about the Barbet (French Water Dog) can be found on our website: www.northrockbarbets.com
The puppies have had a great week. They were introduced to new equipment in their pen and have met lots of new visitors. The weather has been really nice so their space includes the indoor pen and an outdoor pen that we have set up for them. It's a true delight watching them explore new things and adjust to different sounds like lawnmowers and planes flying overhead. Unusual footing, things to climb over and go under and through even water have been experienced.
The adventure box continues to be a big hit with the puppies. They enjoy experiencing the different items that hang from it and it offers the puppies another opportunity for desensitization to mild stressors and further sensory enrichment.
We've had a lot of people come by to help socialize the puppies. It's a lovely time for visiting as the pups aren't biting quite as hard as they will be in the weeks to come. Ellie enjoys meeting new people and appreciates the extra attention that the visitors are always happy to give her.
Frequent updates and photos are posted on our Northrock Barbets Facebook Page if you would like to follow the litter's progress.
