Summary
About Barbet
The Barbet is an ancient French water dog, medium-sized and sturdy, with a dense woolly low-shedding coat. Cheerful and people-focused, it thrives on family life, regular grooming, and active exercise, excelling in water work and dog sports, but remains a relatively rare breed.
About Caucasian Shepherd Dog
Large, powerful livestock guardian from the Caucasus, bred to protect flocks and property. Big, heavily coated, weatherproof dog, deeply loyal to its family but wary and territorial with strangers. Independent, strong‑willed, needs experienced handling, early training, space and secure fencing.
