Breed Appreciation Day – Thursday 16th July 2026, 7pm
The Barbet Club of GB will be holding it’s second, Breed Appreciation Day (BAD) on Thursday 16th July 2026 at 7pm. The BAD will give anyone who wishes to judge Barbets and progress through the Judges Education Programme levels (JEP) – once off the Import Register – an understanding of the breed, together with the integral multi-choice exam (MCE). Presenter at this BAD will be Carolyn Adkins-Fry. It will consist of an overview of the history and purpose of the breed and an explanation of the UK Breed Standard.
Whilst designed for judges, it is open to all and is an opportunity to learn more about our wonderful breed. (Non judges attending will not sit the exam (MCE).
