Book Barbets  the Best Kept Secret of the Dog World

Download or read book Barbets the Best Kept Secret of the Dog World written by Pam Headon and published by . This book was released on 2014-04-26 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never heard of a Barbet? That's no surprise, because this rare breed is still a hidden treasure. Dog lovers are only starting to discover all that's great about this calm, clever, and charming purebred. Barbets have it all-in a medium-sized, allergy-friendly package. A versatile and sturdy breed that once graced the palaces and marshes of France, the Barbet is considered the ancestor of the Poodle and Portuguese Water Dog. However, the Barbet's numbers dwindled to near-extinction before dedicated breeders staged its comeback. In Barbets: The Best Kept Secret of the Dog World, Pam Headon draws on her extensive breeding experience to shine a spotlight on this canine gem. A long-time fan of Portuguese Water Dogs, Headon calls the Barbet a "decaffeinated" version of the spirited Portie or a "non-shedding Golden Retriever." Owners wholeheartedly agree that the Barbet is a wonderful companion dog. This primer covers all the essentials: finding a reputable breeder, required health checks, care, training and grooming. Headon also describes her journey, complete with an insider's look at the complicated world of dog breeding. Beautiful photos and warm testimonials will make you wonder how this amazing breed has remained a secret for so long. Pam Headon grew up among dogs and horses on an Ontario hobby farm. She began breeding Portuguese Water Dogs in 1998 and Barbets in 2006. Her conscientious, humane, and effective program has made her a leading breeder of Barbets in North America.

  • ISBN : 1787209644
  • Pages : 245 pages

Download or read book A Doctor at Calvary written by Dr. Pierre Barbet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘We did not know; nobody has ever told us that!’ These were the words, spoken in tears, of Pope Pius XII on first reading passages from A Doctor at Calvary, Dr. Pierre Barbet’s scientific and reverent study of the Crucifixion of Christ. From an examination of the Holy Shroud of Turin—the authenticity of which Dr. Barbet accepts from medical evidence—a remarkable reconstruction of Christ’s terrible agony is presented in language that cannot fail to move the heart. What kind and what degree of physical torture did Our Lord suffer on Calvary? What was the medical cause of His death? These are among the questions answered in A Doctor at Calvary, one of the most significant contributions to Christological science in modern times. Christ’s preliminary sufferings—the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, the scourging, the carrying of the cross—the wounds of the hands, in the feet, in the heart, the causes of the rapid death, and the entombment are recounted with the devotion and compassion of an ardent Christian and with a brilliant doctor’s accuracy of anatomical detail. ‘Without doubt this is one of the most gripping and moving books to have been published in many a year.’—Harold C. Gardiner, S. J. ‘As an aid to vivid viewing of the Passion, this book is peerless.’—Rev. John S. Kennedy, Balancing the Books ‘...a profoundly moving study of the Passion.’—Commonwealth ‘...a remarkable reconstruction of Christ’s agony and death.’—Jubilee ‘This volume is an outstanding example of how science can contribute not only to theology, but to solid Christian piety, and thus be an aid to love of Christ.’—The Voice ‘This is a gripping and powerful book of the highest stature.’—Voice of St. Jude ‘Sincere study of this book will enable us for the first time to understand what is behind the words: ‘Jesus suffered and died for us.”—America
