We do Breed in Best European Traditions
Quality Commitment to Excellence in Bouviers
At our kennel, we take immense pride in offering Bouviers of exceptional lineage and temperament. All of our dogs are imported directly from Belgium, drawing from the True Holland/Belgium bloodlines known for their strength, structure, and beauty. Through selective breeding, we ensure that only the best genetics are passed down, specializing in producing the ultimate fawns with ideal temperament and physical traits.
Recognized as a top breeder on the East Coast, we stay true to the best European breeding traditions, and every Bouvier is hand-selected and imported by Chantal from the most reputable champion producers in Holland, Belgium, and Finland. The result is a dog with a stable, loving, and intelligent personality—making it the perfect addition to any home. Our commitment to quality, care, and tradition is what sets us apart.
Appearance
The Bouvier is a rough-coated dog of rugged appearance. It gives the impression of size and strength without clumsiness. The head is accentuated by a "heavy beard" and "mustache". Although the practice of cropping both ears and tail are now mostly cosmetic, tails were originally docked to prevent injuries caused by herding and cart-pulling.
Temperament
Bouviers des Flandres are gentle, rational, even-tempered, loyal, and protective by nature. The breed's particular blend of characteristics makes them good family pets, as well as effective guard dogs. Bouviers are easily trainable watch dogs who learn commands relatively fast. However, Bouviers learn best when repetition is limited. Boredom from repetition can hinder their training and learning ability.
Bouviers possess some sophisticated traits, such as complex intelligence and accountability.
Bouviers should be socialized well, preferably starting at an early age, to avoid shyness, suspiciousness, and being overly reserved with strangers (although the breed is naturally aloof with strangers). Protecting the family when in danger is not something that needs to be taught, nor is it something one can train out of them. They can coexist well with children. Obedience training should start when they are young. They are usually good with other dogs if they are raised with them from puppyhood. Bouviers do not fully mature both mentally and physically until around the age of 2–3 years old.
