My kennel name "Barba Nigra" was stablished in the year 1982 in FCI, starting breeding two litter of black Giants.
But I first started with black giants, in 1968. Later in 1974 I had giant pepper/salt, with another kennel name - We mainly specialized in working dogs. And in the year 1966 I had a litter of Labrador Retriever.
The first minis came in the year 1980 and it was pepper and salt. S. Ch Gråskäggs Emil. Second was a female Gråskäggs Irma La Douce (as I consider her the most important female of the breed).
And finally I started with black minis in 1992.
I proudly owned the most important dog in the breed - Multi CH Standing vd Havenstad.
He was 18 times Best in Show and he was World Winner '96, Euro Champion '95, International Champion, Swedish Champion, Danish Champion, German Champion and MORE... (you can read here)
He is present today in pedigrees of the most successful Black minis around the world.
