Bouvier des Flandres History:
The Bouvier des Flandres breed was developed in the French-occupied Flanders in the 1600’s to assist with the herding of cattle. Ancestors include the Brussels Griffon and the Beauceron. The breed legacy has produced many distinctions including a square and powerful build and a rugged appearance.
The breed standards were established in 1912 in France by the vice-president of the Club St. Hubert du Nord. The breeds numbers began to decrease during yhe World Wars. Due to the efforts of a Veterinarian in the Belgian Army they were able to survive and today can be found worldwide.
