The Bouvier des Flandres is a large, coated breed that requires a great
deal of attention. They must be trained, groomed and exercised. Obedience
training is a must. Bouvier's learn with lightening speed, are capable of
reasoning soundly on their own initiative and are eager to please. A
combination that results in a breed that is easy to train to excel in many
areas. But with the intelligence comes boredom if they are not continually
challenged. They also will "think" before reacting.
They need a lot of room to play and
should be walked daily. Grooming is also a major consideration. their non
shedding, non-allergetic coat, required weekly grooming to prevent the
undercoat from dropping out on the floor. Along with care on their nails,
teeth and ears. Regular bathing and trimming are required. A trip to a
professional groomer is required at a minimum several times a year, for
most pet owners.
