Bouviers a versatile loving breed!
Posted on April 9th, 2021
Bouvier des Flandres are a versatile breed of dogs, capable of fitting into virtually any lifestyle. They are very strong of body and mind, carefully weighing situations before reacting. This breed is utilized in police work, therapy work, farm work. They use natural herding instincts in various situations; I have even had my first Bouvier save a child from being struck by a speeding car. When asked how I trained her, I explained I could not take credit for what she did out of natural abilities and instinct. These gentle creatures provide loving companionship when provided with human connection and socialization. They require guidance and training to fully appreciation their capable personalities. Bouviers like to keep their human companions within sight and are commonly found to follow you from room to room, watching you, laying at your feet or in your lap! Large in stature but with a graceful nature; making for a wonderful in-home family member.
