Our Story
Small and Passionate Breeders
At Azorean Heritage Barbados, we are a small family of passionate breeders. We grew up with dogs, and when we started our family, we decided to bring our first dog into our life. In the summer of 2008, we got Cujo, a beautiful Toy Poodle. Years passed, and Cujo was getting old; we thought it was time to bring another dog to our family. We got our second poodle, a gorgeous Standard Poodle, Missy. Our daughter started to show the same passion and love for dogs. She wanted to be part of showing dogs and participated in agility events with our standard poodle.
While attending dog shows, we realized how important it is to protect and preserve dog breeds for future generations.
We were learning about different breeds when we came across the Barbado da Terceira breed. We were captivated by this magnificent breed, but when we realized that this old breed is at risk of becoming extinct, we decided to get involved and help save it. We made the decision to help the breed, and we contacted the US Barbado Club. Sooner than expected, our journey with the BDT had begun. We got our first BDT, Autumn, from Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal. We were struck by her friendly and gentle temperament and her unique appearance. Autumn helped us reassure our commitment to the breed with her docile and sweet personality. We got our second BDT, Toby, A.K.A. Toblerone, from Terceira Island a few months later.
