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 Sloughi
An elegant, long-legged sighthound from North Africa with a short coat, a gentle expression, and a strong prey drive. The Sloughi is often calm and affectionate with family but reserved around strangers. It needs daily walks, regular opportunities to run in a securely enclosed area, and gentle training. Close companionship, early socialization, and a warm place to rest are important parts of its daily life.
