Special Mentions:
MBPIG MBPIB CKC GCH Northrock’s Noble Spirit – Bonnie
Bonnie was our “keeper” pup from our CH Northrock’s Sweet Marie x GCH Treebeard’s Jack Of All Trades litter. She has such sweet and gentle nature about her. A prolific swimmer, Bonnie loves nothing better than coming upon the pond with geese or ducks or even better, both fowls at the same time using the pond. On November 13, 2023 Bonnie had an outstanding litter of 9 beautiful pups. Our “I Scream For Ice Cream” litter proved to be such a fun bunch of characters, full of amazing, warm personalities not to mention the outstanding substance. We are so thrilled to have yet another group of outstanding puppy people to take the Ice Cream Litter forward in life. Bonnie is mum to Lola, River and Mocha.

Northrock’s Key To My Heart CGN RN – Pinkie
Pinkie was our little “keeper” pup from the Marie/Mango litter, CKC GCH Courailee Roi de Thule x CKC/UKC CH Northrock’s Forever Yours CGN. This affectionate little sprite has kept us on our toes with her joyful zest for life and her sweet nature. Pinkie’s first litter was born June 29, 2022. Not just Pinkie’s first litter but also the first litter born here on the farm bearing our kennel name Noblespirit Barbets, all with Pinkie at the helm. First time mum, Pinkie proved herself an exceptional dam to her pups. Pinkie lovingly cared for and doted on her pups catering to their every whim. The Happy Hour litter was an 8-pack of delightfully fun and energetic puppies who are out making their way in life living in stellar homes. Pinkie has since retired and fills her days watching over her domain along with dutifully schooling her niece, Lola.

CKC/UKC CH Northrock’s Forever Yours CGN – Marie
There is so much to admire about Marie, she is loyal and dedicated with a flirtatious and playful attitude, she loves nothing better than a good Frisbee session. We discovered very early that Marie also has a strong work ethic, has intense focus and being a very intelligent dog, she learns quickly. She has an innate ability to observe a situation and act accordingly, I always trust her instincts. She is a very athletic female with a medium prey drive.
As a youngster, together Marie and I took up competing in the Conformation show ring and quickly accomplished 2 Champion titles at limited showing all Owner Handled.
Using the Northrock kennel name coupled with Stephanie Dixon’s invaluable mentorship, Marie has been co-bred twice. She was our foundation female. Both times pups were born and raised with us here on the farm. She is dam to Pinkie and Bonnie and a granddam to Lola and River. Marie has since retired and spends her day ruling the roost.
