Barbet Club of America
The Barbet Club of America (BCA) is the official parent club for the Barbet in the United States. The BCA and its members are working to preserve, protect, and promote the Barbet by providing quality breeding, education, recognized events, and responsible ownership.
Meet The Barbet
An archetypal water dog of France, the Barbet is a rustic breed of medium size and balanced proportions. He has a long, dense covering of curly hair, a distinct beard, and a cheerful disposition.
Barbet Health
As part of our club’s goal to preserve and protect our breed we encourage Barbet breeders to complete the recommended health tests on their Barbets and to share the results of these tests on a public, searchable database.
Our Club
Every member of the BCA community is encouraged to get involved in Barbet AKC activities and Club functions. BCA welcomes newcomers to learn more about the breed and consider becoming involved in this sporting breed.
