USA Trip in the year 2009 As you can read on our vacation page from 2008 my son Jacko was attending High School for the last two years in Las Vegas. For that reason Dagmar, together with Arthur and her Mom flew over to Las Vegas to join him and his friends on this special day. We met very nice families and made friends with Lisa and Brandon, the family Jacko stayed with in the last year. While Dagmar was in the USA her animals were very good taken care of by her adult children and Andreas, her 10 year old friend, who has been with her to show her dogs and support her with training the House-Barrett dogs. Without the children and his help Dagmar would not have been able to leave her four legged friends for this time. Everybody knows, that it is a big responsibility to take care of animals. For a present for his graduation Jacko flew with Hundemama to Seattle, Houston, Austin and Kentucky to visit House-Barrett owners They had a wonderful time with each family and quite a few friendships were made. After emailing to each other first in the process of purchasing a puppy from House-Barrett over the past years and in the past receiving their Barretts finally they became a chance to meet each other. Thanks again to every family, who made this vacation for Jacko and Dagmar so nice. Hopefully that one of these days Dagmar and her family can show these families and others who like to come to Germany During their journey they met with the owners of Baron Cody, a son from Dorcas and Tyson, with Xabie, a daughter of Nora and Tyson, with Destiny, the daughter of Nora and Tabaluga, also a sister of our Dorcas and with Willow, a beautiful daughter of Indra and Simon. Quite a few pictures were taken during this trip. Dagmar would like to share them with all the visitors of this webpage, who love this wonderful breed. To the families who are waiting for a House Barrett dog at this time, we like to say, that it might take a few months until you receive your puppy, but you will see, the waiting is worth it. You will receive a well socialized, smart and beautiful animal |
