Buying a Barbet
Buying a Barbet is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
What kind of temperament does a Barbet usually have?
This breed is typically affectionate, people focused and eager to please, with a steady, cheerful demeanor. They are intelligent and sensitive, so they respond best to gentle, consistent training and close involvement in family life.
How much grooming does a Barbet’s curly coat really need?
The long, woolly coat needs regular maintenance to avoid matting. Most owners should plan on thorough brushing several times a week, frequent checking for tangles behind ears and in armpits, and professional trimming every few months to keep the coat practical and healthy.
Is the Barbet a hypoallergenic dog and do they shed?
Shedding is generally low, as much of the loose hair is trapped in the curls, but this can increase the risk of mats. No dog is truly hypoallergenic, yet some allergy sufferers find they tolerate this breed better, especially with strict coat care and regular bathing.
How much exercise does a Barbet need each day?
They are an active gundog breed that usually needs at least an hour of solid daily exercise plus mental enrichment. Many thrive with activities like swimming, retrieving, scent games and canine sports that use both their body and their mind.
Do Barbets generally like water and swimming?
They were developed as waterfowl retrievers and most individuals are naturally drawn to water. With safe, gradual introduction, they often become enthusiastic swimmers, which is an excellent way to meet their exercise needs while being gentle on joints.
What health problems are Barbets prone to?
Known issues include hip and elbow dysplasia, certain eye diseases such as progressive retinal atrophy, and a risk of ear infections due to heavy, hairy ears that retain moisture. Responsible breeders screen for these conditions and owners should budget for regular orthopedic and eye checks, along with careful ear care.
Are Barbets good family dogs with children and other pets?
They are usually friendly, patient and sociable, which can make them good companions for respectful children and other dogs. Early socialization is important, and as a retrieving breed they should be supervised around small pets that might trigger chase instincts.
Can a Barbet live comfortably in an apartment or city home?
They can adapt to smaller spaces if their exercise and mental needs are reliably met every day. Regular outdoor activity, access to safe off leash areas or structured play, and close human interaction are more important than the size of the home.
How trainable is the Barbet and what training style works best?
They are intelligent and typically very willing to work with their owners, which makes them highly trainable. Positive reinforcement, short varied sessions and plenty of interaction work better than harsh methods, as they tend to be sensitive to tone and handling.
What makes the Barbet different from other water dogs like the Poodle or Portuguese Water Dog?
It is an older French waterfowl retriever with a somewhat more rustic, natural coat and a generally moderater energy level compared with some similar breeds. Many owners describe them as slightly softer in temperament and more relaxed in daily life, provided their exercise and social needs are met.
