Thank you for visiting the home of Champions and future Champions.
We would like to introduce ourselves to you, our names are Martin and Sue Harris. Our small kennel has produced some of the most notable dogs in the UK.
We would be delighted if you could take the time to enjoy with us some of our dogs both past and present.
Featured right is a group of Barleyarch Champions (L->R) Ch Barleyarch Polka, Sh Ch Barleyarch Painted Lady, Ch Barleyarch Pink Lady, Ch Isara Kurzhaar Xanthippe, Ch Barleyarch Platinum, Ch Barleyarch Playboy.
The lovely head study (above left) is of Sh Ch Barleyarch Panther and below is Ch Barleyarch Polka doing what comes naturally!
It is our aim at Barleyarch to maintain both the looks and working ability of the breed, but most of all to produce happy, healthy and sound dogs both in wind and limb that will give their owners many years of love and devotion.
To that end we do not produce countless litters, just a select few using the best dogs from only the soundest of lines, thus maintaining our position as one of the all time top winning and top producing kennels in the United Kingdom.
PLEASE BE WARNED!
Unfortunately it has become popular to cross mate 2nd generation Barleyarch bred dogs together, creating pedigrees that carry many of our own dogs. Please do NOT expect these combinations to produce the same as the dogs we ourselves produce. In most cases, we would NOT under any circumstance bring about some of these combinations, nor do we accept responsibilty for any hereditary defects produced as a result of these matings.
