Character of the Bouvier

 

The Bouvier has a high prey drive and well developed character. His strength, mass, gruff appearance, intelligence, fidelity to his master and attachment to all that belongs to the family, with whom he lives. The Bouvier is an extra ordinary guardian and protector of children and family, he is at the same time, their friend and playmate. Therefore, he must be taught at an early age what is expected of him and who is the leader of the "pack".

  
  


They are also a herding animal and the natural instinct of herding will usually come through. That means that most Bouviers will herd other animals or small children. Bouviers usually will use a "body block" in which they use their body to move what they want. They have also been know to "nip" at heels to help others move along.

Some Bouviers will also be vocal in different situations.
