My aim in this section
is to provide you with all recent news
and forthcoming events
I will write articles
on events
and provide interesting reports on
Subjects connected with
Our Bouviers des Flandres
How could this Breed, the Bouvier des Flandres
have aroused my interest so much that,
I had the privilege of Accompanying this dog throughout its Life?
I'd never settle for any other Breed
than the Bouvier des Flandres.
I must say that behind its Gruff Appearance
This Dog hides such a Good-hearted Temperament.
Then there is that mutual understanding
that Develops between a Man, a Woman or Child.
and a Bouvier des Flandres
can Never be Destroyed
This Link is as Strong as the Formidable Profile
and Unruffled Strength so characteristic
of the Bouvier des Flandres
This Dog becomes an authentic “Nanny”
when Children are Around,
But Burglars Beware! The Bouvier
becomes a Real Security Guard,
In the Home, it's a Guard Dog.
It's highly developed Sense of
Smell makes it a Highly-Prized Dog ,
for Tracking and Searching
It is an Unequalled Life-Saver in Water,
When you Hike or go on Walking Tours,
it trots along Tirelessly with Tremendous Stamina,
It is indifferent to Bad Weather and a Rustic Animal ,
When used as a Working Dog, it's attentive and Hard-Working.
It has Tremendous Endurance,
It becomes the Ideal Companion in the Home,
In my Opinion, there will never be enough Definitions to qualify
