I have been raising Bouviers now for a number of years. They have to be the most loyal, gentle dogs I have ever owned. They are not as hard to maintain as a lot of people seem to think as long as you do the required upkeep on them. They are fun to work with, fast to learn, and when they are with you they are with you. I love the shows we attend and the dogs seem to really enjoy showing themselves off.

I like the fact that they don't shed in the house and when they are inside they are very well behaved. They find a spot that becomes theirs and most of the time that's where you will find them. They are laid back and just want to be near you all the time.
