Ltd Barbet

Ltd Barbet raises barbet in Parker, Colorado, operating under the Hickory Tavern Farm name. The program draws on more than forty years of experience breeding and showing purebred dogs, with owner Kemah Plusk carrying forward a long-standing commitment to the barbet as one of the breed's early supporters in the United States.

The breeding program centers on conformation, health, and temperament. All breeding stock undergoes OFA hip and elbow evaluations, Embark genetic testing, and assessments of eyes and general health before any pairing is made. Dogs are exhibited in AKC, CKC, and UKC shows and trials, with the show record serving as an independent measure of correct type, movement, and stable disposition. Genetic diversity is a deliberate priority given the barbet's relatively small North American population.

Hickory Tavern Farm also breeds whippets alongside the barbet. The program does not breed frequently by design, focusing instead on producing each generation of barbet puppies in Colorado only when the combination of dogs is considered ideal, with lifetime support offered to every puppy home.
