I'm Barbara L., the breeder behind Barbie's Barbets located in New Bedford, MA. We are offering a litter of rare Barbet puppies to strengthen the breed in the U.S. Our sire has a Champion lineage from Canada (CKC & UKC), and our Dame is from Georgia (AKC & UKC). Both have strong health histories, ensuring healthy, intelligent, and well-socialized puppies for loving homes.
Q. & A. with Barbara
Why did you start breeding?
I got involved in breeding my Barbets after my Vet, impressed by the breed's qualities, encouraged me to breed my exceptional Dame and Sire. Having never seen a Barbet in all her years, she recognized their uniqueness. I believe it'e crucial to preserve and continue the bloodline of this ancient breed for future generations to enjoy.~B,Léger
What makes your program special?
What makes my breeding program special is the love and care we give to our dogs. Our Dame, Paisley, and Sire, Frenchy, are cherished family pets treated as royalty. The puppies will be born in a specially designed spare bedroom for their safety and comfort, where I'll sleep alongside them. This is not a business for us--it's a true labor of love.~B.Léger
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown, black, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

As a new Barbet owner, I cannot say enough about this wonderful breed and about our experience with Good Dog. Marco is such an amazing dog—smart, quick to learn, and he blended seamlessly into our family from day one. Barbara was incredible to work with; she answered all of our questions with patience and care. Marco came to us already well on his way to being potty trained, which made finishing his training so easy. He is the sweetest, cuddliest companion and loves being right by our side. I am so grateful to Barbara for the love and dedication she puts into raising her puppies—it truly shows. We couldn’t be happier!

Barbara was wonderful to work with during our search for a Barbet puppy. She’s very knowledgeable about the breed and provided us with everything we needed to bring our Milton home. He was fully crate trained when we brought him home and has had a wonderful temperament from day one. He loves going outside, meeting new people but most of all, he loves his family 💙 He has been a true blessing for all of us and we are forever grateful to Barbara and her husband.
