Let me welcome you to:
Astarte Kennels,Barbet, Bichon Frise and French BullDog's website!
Astarte Bichons Frises and Frenchies were established in 1972 in Phoenix, Arizona where I showed my dogs in the South West and California for over 38 years. We moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1996.
We are now the proud owner of our very first
Barbet a rare breed French Water Dog one of only fifty in the United States and 1600 in the world. The American Barbet Fanciers are currently working toward AKC recognition. Barbets are now on the AKC FSS registry (foundation stock service) and are accepted in all of Europe and Canada in the National pure Bred Breed clubs. We are members of the Canadan, International and American Barbet Breed clubs and the Puget Sound French Bulldog Club
We are a small family show and breeding kennel, devoted to the betterment of the breed and striving to help new owners achieve success in the show ring, as well as with their family companions. We are not a puppy mill, breeding puppies for a profit. I do not sell and have never sold my puppies through pet shops, dealers or on listings for puppies you may find on the internet that deal with puppy mills or ill treated dogs. I do not breed designer dogs EVER.
All our babies are born in our living room and are well socialized, not leaving home until they are ten weeks old. You are welcomed, and encouraged, to visit our home as often as you like while your puppy waits to go to his or her forever home.
My puppies are guaranteed for one full year and I reserve first rights, for return of the puppy to me, if for some reason you can no longer keep him or her. I will provide testimonials and direct access to speak with past puppy buyers.
Please contact me by email at dnewkirk@whidbey.com or call me at 360-331-4270 (Pacific Time) about our upcoming litters. We love to talk Bichon and Frenchie..and Barbet
Bichon Frise and French BullDogs show potential and companion puppies, as well as older dogs occasionally. Barbet puppies in the future.
I can ship if needed.
