Barrett GET TOGETHER in Seattle, Washington, USA on May 19th, 2018

For the first time "USA-Barrett owners" had the opportunity to meet with others and us in the Seattle area, USA. The owner of "Amigo vom Haus Barrett" had invited for this event. They arranged everything and thanks to this wonderful family "Hundemama", her daughter Jessica and her friend Marion had a chance to meet with all of these nice families for the first time.

Everything was so well prepared by the Greenman family. Without the willigness to open their house for everyone, this event could have never happened. For this we like to express how thankful we are for this day.

The event was special, not only to us. We do believe that everyone had a wonderful and unforgettable time.

Quite a few families were able to join and we also like to thank everyone for taking the time to drive or even fly out to Seattle on that day.

Just like on our annual German hike quite a few pictures were taken, which we like to share with others. Maybe one of these days we will be able to repeat an event like this in another part of the USA.

Last but not least "Hundemama" likes to thank all families for taking such good care of their Barretts. We do know that sometimes it is a challenge to raise a Barrett-puppy, because they are so smart and they do have their own character. But if we raise our GSD with knowledge for this breed, with respect for an animal and love, leadership and understanding, our puppies have a chance to grow up into self convident and content dogs.
