Barbet Satine earns her WC title with the CKC
Congratulations to another Barbet Fanciers Association breeder member, Ula Pepper, as she is amoung the first Canadian owner/handler teams to earn her Barbet its Working Certificate title with the CKC.
Thursday September 29th 2011, at the Mill Creek Retriever Club working certificate tests, Satine became the 4th Barbet in Canada to earn her Working Certificate Title. The Barbet has only been elgible to compete for a WC, WCI and WCX title since January 2011. The Barbet is a happy and loyal breed of dog, and although rather impish and goofy at times, the breed can and will settle in and do the job at hand.
