BOUVIER DES FLANDRES BY CLAIRE MCLEAN

My husband and I own a 4 yr old Bouvier named Gibson and are avid "Bouv" people. This book was recommended as one of the books to read before acquiring a Bouv. It has excellent history and standards for both the American and Canadian Kennel Clubs if you choose to show. Some of the pictures of the breed are from the early 1900's are rare and wonderful to see. Since the breed was almost wiped out by the Nazis, most records and pictures destroyed, these pictures are rare and beautiful.It is a good book for the new Bouv owner or someone who is thinking of buying one. The Bouvier is not a dog for everyone. They have a tendancy to be very stubborn and mature mentally at about the age of 3, so they require lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. They are "thinkers" and are often decribed as smarter than their owners. They will keep you young and thinking on your feet. The descriptions in this book are very true to form. Great book all around! If you are researching lineage, there is quite a bit of info in this book. Try it, You'll like it.
