Description

The Bouvier des Flandres is a large, powerful breed known for its intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. Originally bred as a working dog in Belgium, they were used for herding, guarding, and draft work. Despite their size, they can be gentle and affectionate with their families. However, their strong work ethic and protective instincts require experienced owners who can provide adequate training and socialization. Regular grooming is essential to maintain their thick, double coat.
