BARBET CINNA
June 17, 2007 – November 8th, 2021
In conversations with Barbet owners in Europe, I was introduced to Cinna di Barbochos Reiau de Prouvenco, who became my heart dog. We traveled to France to bring him home. He was the third Barbet registered with the AKC, Xela being the first. While picking him up in France, I competed with Cinna in the Bourg en Bresse dog show. It was my first time showing and Cinna earned “best male puppy”. He lost best puppy to his sister, Cybelle.
His good nature lead himself to being our Ginkgo ambassador. He was shown in Canada, earned his CKC championship, CGC, and earned an Advanced therapy dog title with well over 100 visits to hospitals, schools, and universities.
He passed away in our arms in November 2021 at age 14.5. Although he had a long, happy life, he is missed everyday.
He is why we are so passionate about the breed.
