Ginkgo Barbet - French Water Dogs - Barbet Breeder

Ginkgo Barbet, formerly American Barbet, was created in 2006 to share our heartfelt love for the Barbet. They are our French Water Dog family. The breed opened up many paths to new friends and adventures. We are proud Barbet preservation breeders of Barbet.

Since 2004, we, Stacy and Walter Able, have had Barbet, also known as French Water Dogs. We got started in the breed as Walter's sister Susan who had one of the first few Barbet litters in 2004. We are an AKC Breeder of Merit Silver and devoted enthusiasts of the Barbet breed. We had our first Barbet puppy litter in 2006 and typically have 1-2 Barbet litters annually. This is a beloved hobby for us. We strive to have the healthiest Barbet puppies go to the best of homes. Most wait for 1-2 years for a Barbet puppy from us. Not all of our Ginkgo Barbet are going to be show dogs, but we love when families will spend time training, grooming, and engaging with their Barbet throughout its life.

We proudly support the Barbet Club of America which was formed in 2009. Stacy Able has served on the board off and on since the Barbet Club of America's inception.
