Most canine used for hunting often do so in dry and solid terrain. They are capable of performing mind rattling maneuvers, and many other things that MOST
can do. What makes the Barbet cool is its ability to hunt in the water – this dog breed has been one of the few out there to be bred and trained to do such an impressive feat. Well maybe not that impressive, but it's still uncommon to the majority of their kind. The others are known to have hunt all sorts of mammals; such would include raccoons, deer, wild boar, and even bears.
As for the Barbet dog breed, it hunts all sorts of waterfowl, such as the duck and goose. That kind of game, my friend, isn't as big, strong, and/or deadly as the other mammals the average hunting dog breed would hunt. What harm could a feathered duck sitting in the water possibly inflict on a pooch? I don't think it'll be able to grab the canine by the neck and drown it in the water, nor would it be capable of poking its eyes out with its bill. But the fact that it's able to catch a bird in the water simply means that it's agile and treads lightly.
Doing such a thing would require the pooch to sneak up on the unsuspecting prey, and then move real fast to catch it. That also means that it's brave, because there are plenty of animals out there that are afraid of the water. When not hunting, the Barbet dog breed can play the role of
– owners of this pooch say that it's very loving, and always finding ways to please its owners. That alone one of many desirable traits that a pet owner can ever ask for. Another thing about it, which makes it so damn nice to have, is its “trainability” - what makes it easy to train? For starters, this is a very intelligent dog breed we're talking about here, if not, one of the most intelligent pooches out there.
Aside from that, it has the willingness to learn from somebody that it RESPECTS as its superior. As long as you remain “large and in charge”, and use the proper
, you shouldn't have any problems with it. At an early age, keep it in place, but never be too harsh while doing so. Never hit or yell – this'll have more negative impacts on canine behavior. Be fair if you wanna make the most of your efforts. You may also want to consider keeping the training environment fun, so that it won't bore easily and find something better to do.
I'd really like to put a picture of the Barbet dog breed here for you to see it, but as of the moment I can't. Anyways, I'll give you a short description of it so that you'll be able to imagine it – ready? The Barbet can weigh anywhere from 33 to 55 pounds, and can stand from 19 to 24 inches. The coat of this pooch is long, wolly, and curly – resembles a sheep in some ways. The most common colors it may come in are black, white, gray and brown. Very cute and sheepish if you ask me. To grasp a better picture of it, do some research.
