Happy birthday to Claire!

Today we're celebrating the 4th birthday of our very special girl, BIS CKC/UKC/IABCA CH Neigenuveaux's Ermagarde. Claire is quite a wonderful dog; the first Barbet to win a UKC Best in Show and the first UKC Champion, an ambassador for the breed appearing 3 years for the huge NYC Meet The Breed crowds, being featured on tv and print breed spots, a perfect mother to her 3 puppies, and friendly and sweet to everyone that she meets. We'll always be grateful to Stacy Able for telling us about her litter, and to Florence Erwin for letting her come to America. Claire has changed our lives in so many ways, and every day she brings us joy.
