Barbado da Terceira
Brains, Beauty & Bravery!
[Barbado da Terceira] ~ [Aradik's Dogs] ~ [Litters]
Did you know:
The
Barbado da Terceira is a passion since we saw our first dog?
We
have tried to acquire animals from different origins, as a way to
reduce inbreeding while working to achieve our ideal Barbado da
Terceira?
We pioneered regular competition of the Barbado da Terceira
at dog shows all over the country?
We pioneered the breed's divulgation abroad, providing
information and photos for foreign dog books and websites?
We pioneered competition of the Barbado da Terceira at dog
shows in other countries?
We pioneered health screening in the
Barbado da Terceira?
We pioneered character trials for the Barbado da
Terceira?
We pioneered keeping dogs out of our breeding undocked and cropped,
so people get used, from the begining, to how the Barbado da Terceira
naturally looks? (You can read more about this on our
blog post)
All our dogs, or dogs bred by us, regularly shown at dog shows have
champion, winner and/or yearly ranking titles?
No
other breeder comes close to us regarding number of dogs with show
titles? And/or character titles? And/or number of titles per dog? (We even have the
first champion of the breed and the most titled couple in the history of
the breed.)
In
every litter we try to place dogs in different situations (pets,
guarding, herding, obedience, etc.), in order to promote the complete
Barbado da Terceira?
We
have probably done more
divulgation events about the Barbado da Terceira (apart from
those occurring at dog shows we would anyway attend) than any other
breeder or club?
Why do we do all this?
So
YOU may get to know the REAL Barbado da Terceira, without
delusions or sugar-coating, demystifying the idea that it is a shy and
aggressive dog – it is a highly intelligent dog, a valuable
guard, a sturdy worker, but definitively not a “teddy bear”!
So
YOU may get the BEST possible friend, regarding behaviour,
morphology and health!
Because we know the type of Barbado da Terceira we like, and know
that achieving and improving it is a long term project!
