Just added a new page to the website. It can be found under
'A Few Myths'. . . . ..'The New Forest Pig'.
As the Barbet in the past, was often referred to as a Pointer, this article speaks of the pig that was trained to do the job of the dogs.
Of course, pigs were used for finding truffles, now it seems the Barbet could put them out of a job in that department, but the pig may well take over in bagging a few birds!
