BARBET CINNA
CKC CH Cinna Di Barbochos Reaiu De Prouvenco CM THDA CGN CGC
June 17, 2007 – November 8th, 2021
Cinna was imported from France in 2008 from Tarascon, France. While there, we attended the Bourg en Bresse show, Cinna won best male puppy and lost best puppy to his sister, Cybelle. Cinna was my heart dog and had this calm, old soul personality. Sometimes he was a cranky old man, too. He is why we are so passionate about the breed. He was registered with the SCC (French Kennel Club), CKC, AKC, and UKC.
Cinna was a certified therapy dog with Love on a Leash. We volunteered at local universities, schools, and Eskenazi Health. He has well over 100 visits before Covid hit. When not greeting guests he would curl up at my feet in my office. He loved to watch animals on tv, put his wet beard on our laps, and watch over us. Cinna passed away at age 14.5 in November 2021 in our arms. Our hearts are broken but his memory lives on.
OFA Hips fair, CERF BA-EYE5/70M-VPI Normal PRA/PRCD Carrier. Height: 57.15 cm/22.5 inches Weight: 24.94 kgs/55 lbs
Achievements: CKC Champion, Canine Good Neighbor certificate, Winter 2013 Canine Good Citizen, first Barbet to earn an AKC CM (Certificate of Merit), as well as a THD AKC Therapy Dog title in 2016. He earned his Advanced Therapy Dog AKC title (over 100 visits!) in 2018.
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”.
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 doing 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.
This website and my devotion to the breed is dedicated to him.
