Eddie
Solene
Eddie is a gorgeous boy from our most recent litter. He is the 2022 Barbet National Puppy Stakes winner, the 2023 National Champion NOHS Barbet, and is currently the #4 Barbet (all-breed) while being shown just since Labor Day with handler Grahm Swayze. Eddie was Select Dog at the 2024 Barbet National Specialty.
Solene won the FSS Group at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in 2015, just a few weeks after becoming the first American Bred Barbet to earn a Certificate of Merit. In July 2020, Solene won Reserve Best in Show in the NOHS competition in Canfield, OH. Solene is the 2020 #1 Barbet bitch, qualifying in the Top 5 for Westminster for 2020, 2021, and 2022. Solene has always been shown very sparingly but she loves every minute of it. Now retired, Solene is our most special star.
