Westminster Kennel Club Barbet Champions

Having both of our girls invited to compete in the inaugural Barbet showing at the Westminster Kennel Club was a dream come true. The results made us very proud as Solene, beautifully shown by our great friend Justin Smithey won Best of Breed. Solene's daughter Flynn, shown by Judy, was Select Bitch. Sincere thanks to the Westminster Kennel Club for putting on such a beautiful event outdoors at Lyndhurst Castle during the covid delays. With Bourbon's second Reserve Best in Show, these truly were the best of days.
