Bouvier des Flandres
The Bouvier des Flandres is a powerful dog that was bred to herd livestock both in France and Belgium. They are handsome with their impressive eyebrows moustaches and beards which gives a Bouvier a somewhat forbidding look but in reality nothing could be further from the truth because they are known to be kind with even temperaments. As such they have always been firm favourites in Europe both as companions and family pets.
