Bouvier Des Flanders: The Dogs of Flandres

Rating:
Summary: The Bouvier book everyone should read
Review: A most informative easy to read book, giving accurate detail and information about the Bouvier des Flandres.

Rating:
Summary: Detailed history of breed, special emphasis on police work
Review: As a new and first time owner of a Bouvier des Flandres puppy, I appreciated many of the details, historical, raising and breeding. The book emphasizes the Bouvier as a Schultzhund dog, which is the author's perogative. I would have appreciated more information on training of a Bouvier for a pet. Many dog owners desire a lovable pet not a champion police dog. The author is an important breeder of Bouviers and he has many valid points to keep the Bouviers to a standard. I myself researched breeders for several months as it is a problem. My summary statement is that the book is worth the money. If there is a revision, I hope the author will broaden his interests in the breed for the general dog owner.

Rating:
Summary: Engle accurately portrays the breed in easy to read text.
Review: Engle does an excellant job of portraying Bouviers as the working family dog they really are. All Bouvier owners should read this book. Kathleen Ryan
