Dedicated to breeding and raising wonderful Barbet puppies.
Who We Are
I have been actively involved in the dog fancy and a member of the Canadian Kennel Club for more than twenty years. Belonging to several clubs, I have trained and competed in various performance events, served on the board of different dog clubs and volunteered on many committees. For many years I served as Health Liaison for the Barbet Club of America. I co-chaired the 2024 National Specialty for Club Barbet Canada and currently I am serving on the board of the Scarborough Kennel Club.
I am a Barbet breeder with over a decade of involvement in the breed. As a preservation breeder I care deeply about my commitment to the Barbet, to each puppy that I breed and to the families that welcome one of our pups into their hearts and homes. Litters at Northrock are carefully planned in an effort to safeguard the breed to ensure its existence for generations to come. I continuously seek to further my education and regularly attend seminars on various topics ranging from canine behaviour, training, health care, structure, genetics, breeding and whelping.

Our Philosophy
Northrock Barbets are fed a high quality diet and we follow a limited vaccine protocol. Breeding dogs have matured to adulthood and have all of their health clearances before they are bred. Our Barbet puppies are sold to carefully approved homes on non-breeding or co-ownership agreements. Northrock Barbets stands behind their puppies and offers a written guarantee and sales contract. As a responsible Barbet breeder, I am always available to help educate and support our puppy families. I care deeply about the health and welfare of my Barbets and am willing to take back any puppy I have bred for the dog’s entire life.
