Pedigree

Dea Augusta is the name of a Celtic River goddess.  Very suitable given my Scottish heritage and this gorgeous water dog.  We call her August, and think of her as our birthday girl.  I contacted her breeder Celine Soulier in France on my birthday and brought her home on my husbands birthday.

She is a stunning girl.  Must get it from her parents who are both French and International Champions.  In 2009 her father (Veltliner) was the Best of Breed at the French National, there were 35 Barbets at that show.   Her mother Rebecca de Winter is a French and Italian champion and an excellent huntress.

August began to show in the summer of 2009.  In a limited number of shows she became a Canadian Champion.   This included her first group placement at eight months and a Best Puppy in Show at eleven months.  She was the number one female and number two Barbet in Canada for both 2009 and 2010.

On February 2, 2011 August brought seven beautiful Barbets into the world.  I could not have asked for a better start for the first TreeBeard litter.
